If you use cash-dispensers and credit-card, they know where you spend how much of your cash on what items.
If you pay bills, it is recorded.
If you use a mobile phone, they know from where, how long and with whom you called.
If you go to the docter, it is registered what kind of deseases and injuries you have.
If you go on the internet, they know exactly what interests you have and where you visit.
It takes only one guy somewhere to connect all the dots and your whole life is as clear and visible as our sun in the sky on a clear day.
So sure give us these clothes- they only will place the dots closer together...
