Does it seem to you that real life is steadily becoming more and more like a science-fiction movie?

As if flying the friendly skies wasn't torturous enough in these days and times, now it's alleged that the future may include requiring all airline passengers to wear a special bracelet.  It would supposedly cut down the time you spend in line and make things more organized and safe, since it would provide all of your personal info, keep track of your luggage and replace boarding passes, all the things that normally slow us down. 

Sounds pretty good so far, huh?

There is a scary side to this, however, since the electronic device in question would also work as a kind of GPS system that tracks your every movement and can shock you-literally- if you are deemed to be a threat.  A little mini-taser right there on your tender little wrist!  While it could indeed protect airports and airlines from possibly dangerous individuals, it also brings us extremely close to becoming an Orwellian society. 

According to some news reports, this may well be something that is being seriously considered

Perhaps it will make things safer, but it still sounds like a "Twilight Zone" episode.
