The Mail on Sunday has published a report based on the infiltration by a BBC reporter of the company tasked with tracking suspected terrorists with tags.
Guess what? THEY DON'T WORK!
Well, they do, but they aren't reliable enough.
Dear, dear. What shall we do?
We could try them in a court of justice before 12 men and women good and true.
Or I suppose we could microchip 'em.
Tags were always going to be a stepping stone to the 'chip. To condition society to accepting something as way out as the implantable microchip will need examples of certain types of people e.g. paedophiles, terrorist suspects, whom society demands that their location and status be known every millisecond. Once these are chipped it will be violent offenders, the aged, and kids at birth, and then within a generation everyone is chipped.

Tag fiasco: Failures in monitoring terror suspects
By MARTIN DELGADO
• Tracking system does not work when mobile network down
• Nor does it work when offender is in bath
• Tags can be removed with a cigarette lighter
Alarming failures in the way that terror suspects are kept under surveillance by electronic tagging have been revealed.
Staff working for the company responsible for maintaining a round-the-clock watch on individuals linked to terrorism have no idea who they are monitoring.
And the system itself frequently crashes - sometimes, it is claimed for as long as eight hours at a time.
