no, I'm not. the only place I'm identified is at work if I arrive to early and have to use the RFID to disconnect the alarm, and at the ATM once in a while. I can swear I never passed a CCTV camera in the last month except the supermarket.
Also, no DNA database, no fingerprint (which means no passport thanks to the USA).
Also most CCTVs in other countries don't belong to the municipality or the Police, they are private, so it's harder for someone to access them,
while with IMEI they can track you wherever they want without even struggling.
Anyhow, I understand that in some countries is illegal, due to the amount of stolen phones, but there is a thin line between privacy and big brother theory, which is very dangerous. Exactly like Google Cookies which can lead to another story like the one where AOL disclosed it's database of cookies, and CNN managed to track that person down even if it didn't had any personal data (name, Social security number etc)
plus in my country it's not illegal, so I should be able to change it.
