I agree that it has many flaws. But we have been known to give up a few freedoms for supposed increased safety.
I am in no way worried about something like this. At least not in the near future. Specially since I only mail 1 thing a month, and well the gas
company already knows where I live.
Its just interesting the means that those in charge want to go to, to try and remove some of our freedoms by saying they are protecting us. I can't
see of any cheap and easy way to do what they are proposing. I can think of a hard and expensive way though.
