What Have You Got To Hide?

Under the new bill, anyone buying a prepaid phone would have to give identification, and retailers would have to keep the records for 18 months. [More]
And what legitimate reason could you possibly have for not wanting the government to know?

If you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about.

Right?

"And what legitimate reason could you possibly have for not wanting the government to know?"

As Chuck Schumer says:

"But that was a matter of luck. Usually, a prepaid cellphone is a dead end for law enforcement."

Anything to help the Only Ones.

And what's to prevent use of fake ID?

It's like slingin' suds at a foam dispensary, if you're from outta State, the barkeep is under no obligation to know if your ID is legit or not.

Their grasp is tightening and more of us are slipping through their fingers. I'm an outlaw and I am not bothered by that admission one tiny bit.

Many years ago I asked a German exchange student if he had talked with his parents about why the people allowed Hitler to become an all powerful dictator. Dieter replied that his grandfather had stated that as long as Hitler didn’t tell him how to make sausage he didn’t feel it was proper for him to tell Hitler how to run the government.

Folks, Hitler is telling us how to make our sausage.

Orwell was an optimist.
By the way, Britains vaunted surveillance camera system didn't PREVENT that cab driver from killing all those people, did it? It just may have documented it very nicely in low-rez for TV.
