One day soon, we will of course all be barcoded by our large sibling. In order to put off the evil day, tattoos should be placed of random numbers all over our bodies with no tattooable area left. At the same time, subcutaneous RFID chips containing random numbers should be inserted under our skins
in various places. This would circumvent the authorities so that then, they'd just have to kill us instead of surveilling us. It's a win-win situation.

Alternatively, just tell it that the other six heads are whispering behind its back. |

Lots of people have barcode tattoos. Twenty years ago it looked a bit edgy and cyberpunk. Now it looks lame and 'me-too'. That's the trouble with making a fashion statement through the medium of tattooing - you're then stuck with it. |

Well, in a sense this is not in the real world as such. I don't literally believe in the Beast in Revelations, for example. My main concern with this idea is that a barcode can presumably be retattooed, using something like titanium dioxide to cover up the previous one. |

[Zen_tom], good thinking. That's been happening for decades between married couples in a way, now i come to think of it. |

[zen_tom] I like the idea, but think it wouldnt work. "They"
would just prosecute *all* the Spartacus's for identity theft.
Might not even need any additional laws to do it. |

I have seen a motorcycle painted yellow and adorned with randomly located black adhesive numbers and letters, presumably to avoid detection by ANPR devices. Same principal. |

Unfortunately, legislation surrounding compulsory ID is more likely to take a form which prevents the individual from doing anything unless they can prove their individual status.
We already have a great deal of legislation based on the new 'guilty until proven innocent' policy. |
