The lessons:
1) The individual is no longer to be trusted.
2) We, as individuals, must therefore be controlled and guarded against.
3) The state can mandate use of such technologies, with stated intent being for a good purpose, but with said technology also being easily manipulable for negative agendas.
I will maintain that even minus malicious, controlling intent by government, and minus hackability and vulnerability to other external groups...this type of "smarter than you" technology will STILL be a net NEGATIVE for the consumer...when the sensors fail, or calibrate incorrectly, the user will be left with a non-functioning monitor.
