Paper Receipts
Starbucks and Apple have gotten this as have online retailers. Why can't the rest of the retail world?
-
Credit Cards
Let's see, I am going to carry around something small that has a ton of identifiable info and access to a large amount of money that can be easily duplicated and most people happily swipe them without checking to see if you are actually the person supposed to be using it.

DVDs and BluRays and Game Discs
Seriously? I know we see more digital content every day, but Walmart still sells billions of these every year. Quit locking my media up in plastic, give it to me where I want, when I want.

Residential Mailbox

Probably the #1 source of identity theft. Plus all that junk mail that goes straight from mailbox to recycling...

Power Cords
Added by Curt Woodward on May 19, 2011
Tesla was onto this. So why do I still have to sit near a wall plug, buy an inverter for my car, and trip over tangled cords all the time?
-
ID Cards
Either get me a chip already or find another way to figure out who I am.
-
Flush Toilets
Why cant my house be powered by Human Waste yet?
-
Land Lines
I pay $50 a month for something that I never use.
-
TSA
Freedom Pats hardly feel secure or comforting.
