The hardest concession for both sides will be the loss of the privacy illusion. I caught a new show this week called Person of Interest. I doubt it will last until midseason but it hits the nail on the head regarding the ability to spy on anyone with a SSN.
IMO, there will be plenty to make both sides unhappy, but it will not be dystopian and the clever will be able to thrive
