Doesn't this scare the hell out of you ?

Cause it does to me.


Talk about real life imitating art....

The British have been living with a situation like that since the IRA days. I wonder, however, just how much surveillance actually gets analysed. We would need to have one half of the population watching the other half ... sort of like during the Stazi times of East Germany.

But if you're not doing anything wrong, you've nothing to fear...at least that's what was said when Patriot Act I & II passed. Why is it suddenly something to worry about?

If I'm doing nothing wrong, there is no need to watch me. Which is what I've been saying since forever.

It's suddenly something to worry about, because it's been hidden from us and has become a multi headed hydra while we weren't allowed to look.

Try video recording a security camera, and see what happens.

You? Nevaaaah! I knew you were, but my point still stands. We might be late to the ballgame, but the NSA et. al. need to be put back in their bottle.

That might fry the CCD in the camera.

They would go all Rodney King on poor Boots.
