This week science fiction writer Elizabeth Moon argues that everyone should be given a barcode at birth.

“If I were empress of the Universe I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached - a barcode if you will; an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals."

Clearly Moon is mad - mad enough to not be put off by the concept of 'empress of the Universe', let alone bar code everyone.
