This may increase the paranoia drip-rate on your IV, but a few years ago I read some articles about a very small infrared camera that could be used to identify a person from the distance of some 3 to 10 feet. The technology used the heat signature of the veins and arteries in your face as a unique signature like a fingerprint. A facial thermal fingerprint.
Now if a person is driving by a sign that has one of these, then they can be identified. Once ID'd, the movements thru a city grid can be done on a vector basis as long as the movement of the object doesn't leave the visibility of the grid, the person can be tracked. Put the same ID units outside office buildings and they can tell that citizen ID (CID) 159320FDSFL1882 has been in the building for 4h 32m... etc. Once re-aquired, the tracking can all be automated and databasized for future query on your behalf to prove you didn't kill OJ....
They were wrong, it's not a Matrix, it's more of a World Wide Mesh of interconnectedness...
