Dont' Touch other peoples new Iphone 6

Okay, so you don't own an Iphone 6 because you are not going to give Apple your fingerprint. You may be wrong, no, you are wrong. Here is what happens. Scenario: You are out with a friend and he just got his new Iphone 6. You explain to him how you don't want one because it can read your fingerprints and store them on a data base. Your friend blows you off calling you paranoid. Later that night at the bar your friend get's a funny email and wants to show it to you and hands you his phone.

Here is where everything goes wrong. You take his phone and running in the back ground is software that reads the fingerprints that touch the screen sensor. The Iphone does not recognize the fingerprint for his Iphone you just took and it immediate records the unknown fingerprint and takes a picture of the user (that would be you) as you are reading the email.

Now without your knowledge the Iphone just recorded your fingerprint and photo to go with it and you are none the wiser. Don't touch other peoples new Iphones. You just became a victim of his folly.

    And that's just the start of it. Add the gait recognition software, license plate readers, GPS in you cell (with the pretend option of 'turn off GPS location"), NSA Internet bugs, social group forecasting, there'll be no escaping.

    Two days ago we had a cold hard (for Alaska) rain and some kids were list in the woods. The police "turned on the GPS in their cellphones" and saved them. Yes, they have that power. It's already here and most don't realize it yet.

    And that's just the stuff we know about.

    There's also a few levels of On Board Diagnostics (OBD) that the auto industry has not (yet) implemented, but my guess is they're all implemented, just not enabled. Then there's the concept of a Geo Fence. Just that the concept is defined has implications. We're going to be facing more and more limitations as time goes by.

    You drive to much? Is your carbon footprint to large. It's now possible for us to limited where and when we drive without any additional work. And there'll be fines (transfer of wealth & extraction of $$ is what it's all about) if we violate sanctioned driving corridors. Want to go camping? Res, it's easy, just apply for a variance to your discretionary mileage allowance.

    Have you seen the YouTube video on the smart house of the future? The toilet with diagnostic capabilities? I know there's a toilet that can help diabetics by checking sugar levels in the waste.

    I'd like to get an older rig, mid 70's or earlier. I figure it'll be exempt from the OBD BS and will not be affected by an EMP.
