   Japan, often considered to have some of the best public transportation in the world, privatized their "public" transportation in the 1970s. They seem to have setup the incentives so for the most part it works. Train companies own

    What's your suggested solution? I can see the government banning using voice as a password. I can't see it banning the tech. The criminals will use the tech regardless of if it's banned. Looks like we'll need person to p
