2044 = Nineteen Eighty Four?

For your freedom to be left alone will be dead by then:

Within 30 years, biometric fingerprinting will give way to passports laced with computer chips. Your official travel document “will not only have information as to who you are and where you have traveled, but it will also ... allow government officials to track your travel not only in the air, but your daily travels to work, grocery stores and social events.”

If this comes to fruition, *my* "official documents" will be inside a RFID-proof case and good luck with tracking them.

I won't be surprised if people stand for this, though. Too many people are willing to give up their freedoms for an illusionary degree of personal safety.
