Well that's really where things are these days, the government has unlimited capacity to detect you and your actions in physical space. it's really unnerving and depressing, but alas, perfect law enforcement is possible when every particle in space can be detected and recorded - all infractions of the law will be registered in databases. if you could imagine model of the world constructed atom by atom (existing in digital space, of course): in this way, [i]everything[/i] in physical space could be recorded (possibly with satellites?)
yeah, so i was wondering about the social consequences of that, instead of rfid chips. i actually carry around a primtive rfid device, it's called a credit card. i use it so i don't have to carry cash (a wallet-sized weight in your pocket, over time, can cause asymmetry in your hip and legs). yes, its true people can steal my number and charge helluv crap on my card, but it's also true that almost all point-of-sale locations are videorecorded or logged (meaning the perpetrator, theoretically, should always be known)
overwhelm and deplete the counter-measures system by making decoy rockets/projectiles? arrays of roadside bombs that sprayed decoy projectiles?
especially if the enemy knows how it works, there's all sorts of ways to exploit it and make it useless
