Same old same old.
Doctorow is good at rehashing the same argument from the same points, and conveniently ignoring the points that don't turn him on. His bit about needing but not being able to regulate the wheel, since bad guys use wheeled vehicles to make getaways, is a typically tunnel-visioned analogy, and ignores scores of ways to catch bad guys without "regulating the wheel" (ie, tracking, surveillance, arranged interception, community cooperation, and when all else fails, more wheels).
