The Integrated Wireless Network and all similar projects are in reality about the ability of the government, via the Secret Service, to implement its program to tag, track, and locate individuals deemed "threats" by means of implantable sensors, wireless sensor networks, and cognitive radios. "Tagging, tracking, and locating" is discussed extensively in the government's "2001 Quadrennial Defense Review" and "Transition to and from Hostilities" as a necessary capability in the Global War on Terror, where the U.S. military must be able to keep track of an individual terrorist wherever he or she goes. The proposed interoperable radio systems with an IP backbone enable the kinds of sensor technologies that would make that kind of Orwellian program possible. We need to fight these dangerous new radio systems.
