I wonder if it's because if people start being tempted to "raise the hue and cry", they take pills. And if they don't, are... dealt with.
I also wonder what the existence of Makishima implies. That it's possible to live within the system's blind spots, certainly. But he must have been examined at some point in the past, as a child if nothing else, and came up negative. Was that a false negative? Was he already thinking about escape back then? Or did he decide and implement, all within that one year between annual checks?
Though I don't think the existence of false negatives is as damning for the system as that of false positives, and how would you find one of those?
