Microchip prohibited persons

Not to take this too far afield, and not doubting Shirer, who was there, I mentioned that Germany's Weimar Republic was a "democracy" in the same general sense that the USA is a "democracy" and yes there were significant differences.

The 30% or so of Nazis in the Reichstag were elected and did give them a significant power block. Not a controlling one, until after Hitler took over the Chancellorship and then combined it with the Presidency after Von Hindenbergs death, becoming "Der Fuhrer".

The bas point here is that a democracy (no matter the specific details) is always at risk of one group taking sole power, through (technically) legal means, at first.

The US system with its checks and balances makes that difficult but not entirely impossible.
 
They're not looking for John Doe but a wanted felon or some person of interest. I seriously doubt they would go to the trouble of putting 6 billion or more faces in such a gargantuan database. But chipping a felon is feasible and only a matter of time. Face to face gun deals are a problem unless one carries a scanner. No perfect solution.
 
Dfwkid, the Government already is putting Faces in databases, by the millions, in China and the UK. But believe what you will. Slippery slope with AI and Government Agencies.
