2. your papers please??
If this doesn't sound like Gestapo tactics, nothing ever will.

Checking the ID with a hand-held computer means looking at your total history, thanks to government databases that include banking and health histories now.

Now that dissent is criminalized, when you have an arrest record for wearing a an anti-government T-shirt or standing outside the purported Free Speech Zone, you'll never dare ride a train again. Travel will be restricted via just this kind of harassment. Dissenters will be immobilized.

That recent Supreme Court decision denying the right of the citizen to refuse to give his/her name was just the frosting on the cake.
