Biometric databases will be hacked and leaked, criminals will perform cosmetic surgery to assume new identities.

> US drones + US satellites that enable global connectivity of drones was a rather obvious consequence of Starlink ~4 years ago.

One would probaby be safe from the US in Serbia, Transnistria and other non-US friendly places for a while, given enough bribe money. The US won't sneak drones into sovereign airspace without another state's approval even if they're looking for high level targets such as Osama bin Laden, Al Baghdadi, Qassem Soleimani. We are not talking about failed states or states in civil war like Syria, Libya or atates under US assistance like Iraq here.

You are insane if you think the U.S. couldn't get you out of the politically, economically and militarily small Serbia or Pridnestrovia.

The only place where you'd stand a serious chance is Russia, if there's political backing. (see Snowden, Marsalek et al.)
