The Public Security Ministry wants to know where you are right now, the head of the Shin Bet security service wants to know what you did yesterday and the head of the Mossad wants to know whom you met overseas. Soon their outrageous wishes will be granted.
After approving the establishment of a police-run telephone call database, the cabinet this week also passed the biometric information law, which would establish a database of the population's fingerprints and, even worse, photographs. The path is a short one to harsher tools in the war on crime and terror, such as a DNA database of all citizens. Following this, why not try implanting electronic chips in everyone's rear ends? Like pets or prisoners on furlough.
In this way, the authorities will always know where we are. No more fake alibis, escaped prisoners, missing persons, terror or even forbidden relations. Big Brother will always know everything
