Identity Tracking Controversy

Which specific part of Schneier’s argument is the most persuasive? Why?

I found the information provided on other forms of identification astounding. Explaining how heartbeat and gait are used to identify people from a distance was effective in getting his point across. Along with the tracking of IP and MAC addresses, credit cards, license plates, phone numbers, and more, identification technology is impossible to escape from.

Which part(s) do you find least persuasive? Why?

Although the knowledge of alternative identification technology is informative, I wish the author went into more detail about them. Providing examples or cases of when and how these tracking systems are used. This would have made his argument more credible.
