Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

At this point I always jump in with:
Imagine all the monkeys, flying out my butt!
With everything he's had written, isn't this very philosophical song, his best one?
That said, I visited Australia this summer and their border crossing is very efficient.
On the other hand, they also take photographs of everyone and are building a gigantic database of them, which is kind of creepy.
Or perhaps what they're proposing is to create a single worldwide system, maybe run by Interpol, and have all countries use and trust it.
Both ideas have the same problem. Some national governments will be too incompetent to keep it secure. Others are evil.
If Australia's bureaucrats really can't figure out those facts in time to avoid spending billions on this system, I hope they lose their jobs at least.
It shows severe compartmentalization to completely rely upon electronics where vital information is concerned when no one has even addressed the likely hood of it being stolen or most probably wiped out in a single solar burst of electromagnetism. Not to mention...needing a source of power to retrieve the info...causes global warming, don't ya know! hahahahahahahahahahahah
Even the lecherous left isn't going to support this.

My personal profile for the outside world consumption is sparse, so I'm not sure how I'd cope with a system like Australia is considering. Biometric "hacking" is tricky, but I suppose it would be not too difficult to substitute the data on record to match the identity thief. A more dynamic key system may be necessary, like a PIN generated just prior to any travel.
