    It's not like this information doesn't already exist. Go get Google Earth, put in your address and you'll see a satellite image of your house and the GPS coordinates. Not only can the government use that program, but any person in the world.

    You can go to street view on Google maps and see a picture of your house at a street level view.

    I never have liked GPS. I especially don't like how most cars come equipped with it either. When I hop in my car to go for a drive, I don't want someone constantly keeping tabs on where I go. I don't care if I'm going to the grocery store or if I'm taking a cross country trip.

    Its bad enough with cell phones. Whan a person makes a call, information from that phone is transmitted to the closest cell phone tower. One could pin point your location within a five mile radius. While I admit they are convenient, I wish they were never invented.

    I don't believe they will ask. They can get all of the names from gun registration. Of course the people who register their guns are NOT the people misusing them.

    I think they will just knock on our door one day and confiscate our guns. :(

    All these wonderful technologies would be fine if we weren't living in a fallen world. As it is, most every technology of recent development or currently being developed and most every recent law which 'sounds good' is carrying intention or possesses the capacity to be used against us by any power with diabolical intention.

    As Christians, we should have a healthy skepticism of much which originates in this fallen world ....... to be questioning and watchful: This is not paranoia.... because we know behind all powers are spiritual forces, and what God may allow for the good of all, the devil will try to possess for his evil purpose.

    Akin to some of this tracking......... why are they now taking and filing DNA samples of babies born? .......If it can later be used to identify persons, is it not possible it can also be planted to convict the innocent...... or used to determine where biological weakness may be targeted (as opposed to curing or treating conditions to preserve life) for biological extermination...... or for planning organ donations for any of the elite who have need and possession of data. While I'm sure that sadly there are many children which disappear each year.... the usefulness in having a DNA sample and expecting to find them through this is not sufficiently beneficial to justify taking samples from all babies born........ So WHAT is the real purpose?
