Thats easy, all Brits are law abiding drivers, therefore not a problem

They can virtually follow us now on any journey (car, bus, foot)

But that is the great advantage, us Brits will be able to accurately track Armageddon and its progress

There...now they'll be tracking this post too.

But seriously, I think the days of personal privacy are soon to be over. GM is really pushing OnStar, which I assume has the ability to track any automobile that has it installed. My truck doesn't have it, but I sometimes wonder if there isn't a transponder buried in the dash somewhere. The GPS cell phones are a nice way to track people, as are the cameras that are going up at almost every city stoplight. Oh, I almost forgot about RFID -- all it takes is a little chip in your shoes, pants, or shirt and corporations (and/or gov't) can know your whereabouts every time you pass by a reader.
