Combining USPS And SS?
It occured to me that it would be cool if I could go online, fill out fields for sender/address, another for receiver/destination, then get a number or barcode that would be put on the letter/package. No other labels or information would need to appear on the outside of the package! Anonymity from prying eyes. Of course, it's the government. They know who the sender is, but no other human eyes along the chain would know! Sender's credit card/debit instantly charged when recognized in the PO system (USPSS?). Sorting is all done by machine this way.
The package could be then tracked until it is received only be the sender.
It seems to me the anonymity might have a premium value associated with it, therefore potentially "Money-Making" for the USPSS. After all, the phone company charges extra for unlisted numbers, don't they?
Every legal citizen might have a cryptographically generated security number and changes would be possible in public security booths equiped with retina-scanners. It would be cross-referenced to SS#. If the system were even tight enough, it could incorporate real-time massive polling for a more representative democracy and could even usher in secure-voting-from-home.
Non-legal residents would not qualify, so they don't have a legal delivery system, nor can they submit false SS#s, since a retina-scan is required to legally work. Legal non-citizen residents would have a legal address and USPSS #, allowing electronic flags to go up as the visa, green card, or any other time-limitation that is set to expire.
I'm just saying... George Jetson wouldn't be without one!
I think people who might oppose the implementation of this would be people who like to snoop into other people's business, like the government or the criminally insane, if that's not being too excessively redundant.
As long as we're protecting our ID, let's say we can't access this account without eye retina, or fingerprint or some other unique identifier. Let's make it all high tech enough and there will be virtually no hacking or identity theft possible, (except in very extreme circumstances).
What do you think?
