Global Entry and PreCheck are not going to be the only consequences. The people in these databases are considered to be domestic terrorists.

Presidential Memorandum NSPM-7 includes "civil disorder" in its list of acts of "domestic terrorism." Its indicia of "terroristic activities" includes extremely vague language like "anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism" and "extremism on migration, race, and gender" and "hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality".[^1]

I sincerely hope that the engineers responsible for these technologies have fully grasped where things seem headed. This country is teetering on a knife's edge. Maybe more precariously than we know. Nobody can know for sure if we've tipped too far until it's too late.

The economy cannot thrive in a vacuum of normalcy and stability. If things escalate into something akin to The Troubles... I hope that's factored into their cost-benefit analysis.

Just know that if you vote for someone like Newsom, awfulness such as this memorandum isn't getting scrapped, and the one who replaces him 4 years later will be someone who's less incompetent and doesn't shit his pants on live television.
