"Congress allowed the government to scan faces of foreign nationals to keep track of visa overstays. But now that's set to be extended to Americans worrying some privacy advocates."

  Americans who still remember what it was like to live in a free country say Homeland Security "Shouldn't Exist".

  So that rules out pretty much anyone under the age of 30. Another 10 years of this and it will be the majority.

  I've sometimes said I wish I had been born 60 years later. By then technology's barriers would be the size of the atom, the individual photon, and the speed of light, and we'd start getting into a whole new class of interesting problems. Societally, though, I now have to wonder what the other technology advances will enable by then.

  We still have the US constitution and EU privacy laws, though ... here's hoping.
