The first part deals with providing wireless ID cards to all citizens of
India, starting with all the cities and going into the villages. These cards can be radio, magnetic or plain optical like the bar code stickers that are momentarily scanned before a red light scanner. The optical option is the cheapest and is already used in shops for making final bills.
Your writing made me remember of my school days ..I use to write all such type of stuff in my diary..
Just think about it .Voter ID card has been launched by Indina Govt and has been pushed/considered as a necessary peice of document to vote and as well as for other govt related work like passport, Ration card , govt scholerships, I mean it has been considered as a important document.
Do you know how many people have these crads ..not more then 40% and i have seen people having more then 2 Voter ID cards at the border villages/cities.
Now..we are also not sure about the number of people has come to India from near by countries ..many have come by legal route and many by illegal. No count of them.
Making code stickers that are momentarily scanned before a red light scanner is tough (as nothing is impossible) in India ..doesn't fit as per our basic infrastructure of the country.
But I am agree with you ..no doubt technology can be very helpfull against terrorism. But there are few questions,
1. Which technolgy and how's it will be approved by Govt to get implemented. (Because just talking/discussing doesn't lead us anywhere if we don't know, where is the way to implement it )
2. I know already govt is working on few ideas and they are very eager to use "some technologies" against terrorism but whole work processing of the Indian govt is some how different ....I mean to say ..whatever we discuss here, whatever we suggest here during these discussions not going to make a difference if we don't include the right people in the discussion, right people, who can translate these important point to the right people in the govt in a way as they understand it .
So I appreciate your efforts for suggesting technology against terrorism but not able to see the positive results. I will be the most happiest person if someone comment me and say "Yes it is the right forum in term of getting the positive results from these discussions".
