Have we given too much power to the MaxTac? OK, there's no doubt that cyberpsychosis is a serious issue of our time. One cyberpsycho with a jailbroken gun or combat implants and the risk of a bloody massacre rises by a few thousand percent. That's why MaxTac and its psycho squads are essential. We need them to feel secure. But in protecting ourselves against cyberpsychos, don't we open ourselves up to being attacked by MaxTac? Think about it: the law says that to be arrested (or worse) you have to commit a crime. BUT IT ALSO SAYS that if cyberpsychosis is suspected, preventive measures are permitted. Meaning? MaxTac can shoot you BEFORE you go psycho. Before you lose control. But how does MaxTac know if you're a cyberpsycho if you haven't done anything yet? Doesn't matter, all they need is to SUSPECT. And on what basis? That's a SPECIAL SERVICES SECRET. Lo and behold – the paradox of our times. You want to increase your chances of survival? NEVER think that you're safe.
