Why Big Brother is good for you

It* is now a pretty common thing to monitor staff by using GPS to determine where a company car is for instance. Taxi firms use it to pin point the location of their fleet at any given moment. This is a serious weapon for scheduling scenarios.

Serious Criminals (Felons) are now tagged so Law Enforcement agencies can determine their location at any moment. Yes, it does not always work, but that is not the point I’m trying to make. The most recent and unfortunate child abduction cases here in the UK are either that of or . Both have been big stories, child abduction sadly does occur and must be utterly traumatic for all those involved.

What is the problem with tagging children <i>by law </i>up till the age of let’s say five, at that age a chip is removed from them? I am not a parent and can only see advantages to this, and feel that this is surely inevitable. If the government is considering taxing cars (road tax) by using this technology, surely it’s just a matter of time till this is available for children.

There are already things like available to monitor children and no-one seems to be making any objections, what do you think?
