I've been randomly asking people I know how they feel about this & it's been unanimous, no one cares. Hahaha. The most common reply is, why would anyone care about them & I admit to feeling the same way.
It's a mistake not to care. It's just that people don't see where this tracking of people can lead. A few years ago, this technology would have been laughed off as something that never would happen and it WILL get more intrusive. A lot of people don't care that they get irradiated and molested by TSA agents, either. Some would probably consent to a monthly search of their homes, too. Some will gladly have a chip implanted when it's sold to them as something that makes life more convenient. Let me ask you this, Duchess: How would you feel if you thought that Apple might sell your info to a govt that wanted to know how many times you've been to the gun store to buy ammo? That happening is no more impossible than a phone that tracks your every move. It's those kinds of possibilities that anyone who cares about their rights needs to consider.
