I agree on the point that tourist should be known by some system, because as
it is now tourists cannot be traced and citizens can.
I disagree heavily on the point not allowing tourists to visit. Not many
peopel pay for someting they do not know what it is, and only way to learn
is to explore. With your logic people should not be allowed to visit
webpages unless they have a server of they own ?

Yes, if you cought the tourist while beeing there, but finding builds
vandalized or rude signs. It is not so easy to track who did what.

Yeah, well... in some cases. Server logs can help if you know the cells

can take the same computer, and use an emulator to emulate windows and
not get the same computer ID or the ability to decrypt the password even
though it's the same machine.
