Given the prevalence of private sector scanning going on for 'legitimate purposes' like to locate cars for repossession, I'm sure everybody who has been to a shopping center, Wally World or large parking lot has had their tags scanned at some point in time. There are companies that do just that for a living. If the scan matches a car that needs repossessed, they call a tow right on the spot. All those cameras on all those traffic lights could be used for scanning tags also. If you go into an airport chances are you'll even have facial recognition software run on you. In this day and age, we get scanned daily and those scans are saved to computer databases...it's just a question of what queries are made of those databases. If they are scanning funshow goers, how long will it be before they query their databases about who was at the funshow...and who attends church...and whatever other criteria they want to group together? Big Brother is indeed watching.
