    Ah. Encryption back doors, and now passport database to find criminals.

    It’s almost like our politicians saw China’s social credit score and thought it was a great idea…

    I feel like the sets of people who have passports and people who frequently seal stuff from stores have a very minimal overlap. This probably won’t do much.

        But the databases already exists. Every country keeps track of its passports, they don’t just hand them out and forget about it.

      To be fair, fixing systemic issues is not the job cops signed up for. Punishing people is.
