There will always be concern over tagging a person, but what have we got to hide from? Are we all criminals or terrorists, I think not. The vast majority of people 'put to a poll' would agree that tagging is the way forward to protect people from others out to cause harm. I seem to remember the outcry when it was suggested that DNA swabs taken from babieswas an invasion of human rights based on informed consent. A baby cannot give consent. But we still take blood from the heel of a baby to analyse the blood for disorders.
So why not get tough and tag as well as take DNA swabs, I wonder if the crime rate of the world would drop? I would rather be purged by advertisers than blown up by a bomb.
