... almost all the time [one is on the digital grid]
The more capability superpowers build into digital tracking, the easier it is to leave that behind.
If I took a bag of cash, left all digital devices and credit / banking cards on my table, and walked out of my house, I find it incredibly hard to believe the US government could reliably track me if I wasn't already marked for surveillance.
China, I might pop up on a camera, but there are ways around that.
So yes, agreed if people are connected and behaving "normally." (I.e. buying things, showing their id, etc)
- 794CD01 8y agoIf you stick to walking, why even bother to track you? You're not going very far from your house that way. If you board a plane, rent a car, etc, you get tracked.
- emodendroket 8y agoMight be wiser to use public transit.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoBoard an intercity train? I think you get tracked now, but I'm not certain. Intercity bus? I don't know. Intercity van? Probably not... but you might. Public transit within a city? I don't think you get tracked for that.
- ethbro 8y agoFrom looking it up, looks like you need ID for anything commercial interstate (bus or rail).
- ethbro 8y agoContrary to internet opinion, you can still jump freight and hitchhike with long haulers in the US.
