And just in case you think this isn't dangerous and won't go any further, I leave you with a quote straight from the horse's mouth:

"There are just populations in every state that GPS is not good for," [Beth] Welch [Big Brother's spokesperson] said. "An offender who failed to pay child support is not a good fit, but a convicted sex offender is."

So not only do they have to register when they move to a new town, they might get electronically tracked? Debt to society, my ass. Let's ask George Amirault how he feels about this...
