- myself, I am not impressed with the limitations privacy is recieving at the hand of govt and private enterprise. I am less impressed with the thought of being monitored without consent or cause anywhere and someday, perhaps everywhere I go car, plane, subway, store, streetcorner, etc.

(16 Comments)I do not get a warm fuzzy feeling that these technologies are going to be used to make elected officals more honest and work harder, reduce crime in order that police be available for other duties, get me a better job, put kids through school faster, etc. Who the hell came up with the idea of teach us to be like sheep and find a way to watch us acting like sheep after that? The training was so good there isn't a need for watching.
