In ten years time, this comment of yours will automatically place you on a list of 'dissidents'. You will be targeted for heightened (full) surveillance. Your phone will be tracked, all email and phone calls recorded and scanned automatically for review by a machine. You will not be allowed to fly, or find yourself in the queue for "special searches". You will be subject to stop and search on the street under the anti terrorism act, though no policeman will actually know why you are on that list.
All of this will happen automatically. No person will have triggered this process, nor intervene on your behalf. Every TSA agent or UK equivalent will have no idea why you have been marked in the system as "terrorist/dissident". You will simply be treated as such. There will be no recourse. Your children, your siblings and your parents, plus your friends will have a slightly higher weighted bayesian 'terrorist' score placed on their files, because you know them.
Welcome to the world of tomorrow. Welcome to the real Skynet.
