RE: Phone Tapping YES - Cameras Everywhere NO-t yet?
It seems like we just had a news story about the "Biometric Database" that is being assembled. There will eventually have to be more and better cameras in order for this project to be useful to anyone. It will start in the cities. How they'll monitor us country folk is anybody's guess. Cameras in trees? (Wouldn't it be funny if they hooked the cameras up to a network and Google found them all?)
Anyway, if this all begins to get too intrusive, I'm going to spray myself down with PhotoBlocker™ spray. (ldsudduth could have saved himself $2.00 by spending $29.99 + shipping on this stuff.)
Fear is one catalyst that will allow this sort of surveillance to creep up on us. There is probably a much greater danger from self-absorption, apathy and plain ignorance from people that will pave the way for a "Big Brother" society. If everyone is fed, warm and entertained, why make waves?
