    Yep. If you have glaucoma then you shouldn't be driving. If you have a predisposition but don't have it then keep driving. If your family were killed by a driver with glaucoma and you knew the roads authority knew of the drivers predisposition, then you'd be asking a lot of questions and the roads authority would also be liable no doubt. You can't condone unsafe practise.

    20yo, 30yo, or a 75yo behind the counter makes no difference. Because they're young or old it doesn't make them stupid.
    Cheers

    Sorry, not implying stupidity, just that a predisposition, does not mean you will! Also just hilighting a perhaps impersonal manner that you are informed. And that the girl behind the counter, now knows. At best they are bound by the public service code, at worst, a contractor and no such checks.

    Considering they would know this from your DNA at age 10 seconds... I'd think you could be informed of this by your medical practitioner well before the event.

    I love these people who love the conspiracies of your data...

    If I was a decent hacker I'd know where you live, what sites you browse, your banking habits, when you take your leave, and where you travel...

    All this from you because of:

    a) being on the net
    b) you have a TFN
    c) being alive
    d) banking
    e) having a phone / Mobile phone

    You know they can track a mobile dont you??

    And I can assure you, do enough searches for Bomb, terrorism etc, and you'll get a visit...

    They also electronically monitor phones (everywhere) for keywords....
    No-ones listening, just a computer, but if it heard keywords... "bush" "bomb" "USA" etc... its going to be recorded, rated as threat level and reported...

    You think this isnt happening right now.... Well do I have news for you.

    Yes, its an invasion of my privacy.
    Yes, the DNA thing could come and bit me in the future.

    etc, etc, etc.

    But I'd gladly give up all that if it catches just one nut case who's busily stockpiling fertilizer with a view to blowing me, my kids, or anyone else up.

    How many of you conspiricy theorists owns one of the following?

    GPS
    Mobile phone
    Internet access
    TFN
    Credit card, loan or any other line of credit.
    Telephone
    A registered or unregistered vehicle
    An electrical item with a serial number on it
    Anything with a serial number on it
    Plastic bank notes
    A private residence
    Live in a rental residence
    Live in public housing
    A number on an electral role
    Live in a civilised society

    (you are all being tracked right now, as you read my post, as you walk down the street you are being watched, as you order take away, you are being recorded for "training purposes").

    Apparently LR's are a popular marque for eccentrics, paranormal investigators, Darlek spotters, train spotters, and folk who are generally a little quirky. More so series and Defender owners. You may fit a custom made alfoil cap on your noggin' and drive your series around with chicken wire bolted to the roof in the hopes that the two combined will scramble the government signals, UFO tractor beams, EMP's from terrorist bombs, and general Jihad Jammers. APPARENTLY these simple mods will also improve the fuel efficiency of a 2.25d (if the alfoil cap is cone shaped towards the rear of the vehicle)


    If you don't like it, tough, even if you top yourself over it your details of your death (and most likely your DNA will be recorded)

    What me worry, I am mad.

    You've just set off a few alarm bells there. All the worlds security agencies will be watching you and this site with interest now. Just don't say you're best mates with any Indian or Pakistani Doctors or you'll have the Feds on your door charging you with conspiracy.

    Ok, Ok,
    Perhaps it's not the security thing that worries me,
    It's really the barriers it may present to me leading the life I want.
    For example, and yes, these situations may never eventuate, but knowing the future can mould your present:

    My DNA suggests that I have a predisposition to a heart attack, in fact it strongly suggests I will die from one between 50-55. My employer refuses to invest in me any more in the way of training or promotion because I have 'only 10 years left' In fact actively seeks to replace me.

    Airlines refuse to cart me around because, I may be at higher risk of venous thombosis (DVT). So says my DNA profile. There goes my wedding aniversary trip

    Telemarketers, have a list of senior cits that are predisposed to alzeimers, and target them to buy vacuum cleaners. (One every week).

    Yes I know, what every one is about to say, but really it's about the intrusion.

    Fairly heavy conversation for Sunday Morn

    For the conspiracy theorists out there, if you have a Telstra Next G phone with Bigpond enabled, go to whereis Mobile, then get maps. Triangulation through the towers will have you very close to your present position.
    Is this an invasion of privacy, I dont think so! I prefer to consider it as a safety net.
    Don't worry too much about a chip in a drivers licence, it's all the other things in life that give out the information on our lifestyle.
