[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1634997, member: 75105"]What's to stop someone from murdering me? What's to stop someone from running me over in a car? What's to stop someone from hacking my computer and stealing information? What's to stop someone from robbing a house? What's to stop someone from mugging me? What's to stop someone from blowing up a large building full of people? The point is, even though laws exist, people still break them. [B]The information provided does protect me. [/B] For example, I walk into the McDonald's, someone comes in and holds me a knife point, and steals my wallet. The video camera captures the car in the parking lot. The police run the plate number, and make an arrest. I get my wallet back and the crook goes to jail. Someone steals my coin collection. They take it into Joe's pawn and sell it. I tell the police my collection was stolen. They pull the tapes of the local pawn shops and find the robber selling my collection. Although I recover only half of my collection, and the crook goes to jail. The argument that "bank employees can abuse your information" is invalid. They already have your account number on the screen, not much stops them wiring it to their own account. I also believe that everyone should be GPS chipped at birth, when the technology becomes available. Two benefits from the get go. Missing people can be found much easier, and criminals can be found as well.[/QUOTE]
