Your papers please

The little Internet cafe in Rome from which I’m writing this wouldn’t let me go online until I produced my passport, which they then dutifully photocopied. Chilling effect? You betcha.

Get used to it. This is what the digital ID totalitarians want for us. (Note: If you don’t want this type of ID control, then you are ipso facto not a digital ID totalitarian.)

PS: They have also rearranged the keyboard to confuse the enemy. I’ve been copying and pasting angle brackets, not to mention giving a three finger salute to type a @. Damn foreigners!
