Covert tagging and tracking

Earlier targeted operations, such as the attack on Al Jazeera in Kabul, depended on electronic monitoring of cell phones and satellite uplinks, while the Israelis have found their targets with the help of both electronic intercepts and spies on the ground.
The Pentagon's latest plans for CTTL go far beyond, and include everything from covertly tagging suspects with microscopic radio chips to tracking them by the way they walk and even they way they smell.

But beyond CTTL's wizardry, both real and imagined, the obvious question is no matter how brilliantly done, does targeted killing work in the long run against a popularly supported resistance to colonial rule?

NB. The Pentagon has explicitly committed itself to make its new tagging, targeting and locating technology available for use within its own borders.
