We shouldn't have to pay to have our identities protected. The companies and banks offering customers i.d. theft protection should stop wasting everyone's money and focus on real changes in i.d. security. It's time for banks to insert microchips into our brains or some place they can't be taken out easily. At least the machine reading my information might have a better chance of know it's really me keying in my PIN.
Is this a trend in privatization of security in general? I have seen more men in uniforms riding scooters lately and sometimes they're in cars with flashing lights on them. What are the penalties for i.d. theft or other personal information? Who are the criminals involved in this kind of activity? My punishment for people found guilty of these crimes is simple. Pay back the money they stole. Then they should be forced to always show up in person to prove their identities and pay for everything in cash until they are so inconvenienced that they have paid their debt to society.
Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteHow about those microchips? They apparently work well when installed in the family pet! When do you think we will advance to fingerprint ID which has widespread use now, or perhaps retinal ID photos which I have only read about.It is unfortunate that negative events are what drive much of our technology, but I think that may be true. What do you think?
