I am really curious about the breakdown of those 400 people turned away. How many were turned away in error (like Cat Stevens was last year)? How many who were turned away were suspected security risks? Furthermore, I have to wonder how people are issued visas in the first place, and then subsequently determined to be unsuitable for admission? What is going on and what additional information comes in during those final minutes?
The other thing that is really unclear to me is what is being tagged and how it will be used. The passport or visa? The car? Or maybe everyone has to swallow a capsule... (it's a joke). That might be relevant before one can really take a stance on this.
