So we'll have tags that are either intrusive and hard to remove (the "You are all criminals until you prove otherwise") approach, or will be easily removed by anyone wanting to subvert the system (like, err, terrorists ?).
And the tags WILL be easy to remove, after all, there will need to be loads of staff able to remove them at the boarding gates, so the tools/techniques will not be hard to come by for those that require them.
As for fire evacuation, well just how often does that happen, and how reliable will the system be in a real fire ?
But nice to see they didn't miss the "Pulease, think about the childrun" plea !
How Orwellian can you get?
