We already have entered the era of government surveillance. Walking down Manhattan streets you are one multiple cameras at any one time, some with facial recognition. There are sniffers inside corner posts checking for explosives or radioactive materials as you pass. I have an office on a small barrier island on the west coast of Fl.. At both ends there are license plate readers. If the driver has anything from a warrant to an unpaid ticket, it alerts the island police. Easy Pass: twenty years ago (turn of the century) a man was missing in NY. He left the office but never returned home to his wife in Bergen County NJ. Police were able to track him down using the easy pass; and not just at toll booths but through readers placed intermittently along roadways. As for being at war with itself, we are not being honest with ourselves. The countries most cited by the right and the left as safe, clean, caring for its population, are homogenous countries (Japan the Nordic Countries). Perhaps diversity as it is practiced in 2023 is not a strength.
