Does anyone remember a story about teh UK using cameras to take and analyze a picture of every license plate at every intersection, then run a program to see how fast you made it between intersections to see whether or not you were speeding between them?
I kind of have to go back to what RP said about the whole thing, that we should stop pissing in their cheerios and listen to why they are so upset at us for a change. Personally, yeah there are gonna be whack jobs that want to blow us up for stupid things that we cant do anything about, but there are also legit reasons, you blew up my house and killed my parents during the Gulf war and we arent even in the military, we are just your normal every day people. Maybe we should listen to our would be enemies before we start expecting them to bomb us again.
Its like a bully in school walks up to you, he has his dukes up, so you know he is expecting a fight, then shoves you, or pushes you, throws you in a locker, gives you a swirlie, or whatever. But they come at you ready for you to retaliate, what do you think is gonna happen, he came at me with his gun drawn to ask if me if he could be my friend?
This privacy thing wont stop here, the only constant is change, and the types of invasions of our privacies will change as technology changes. We have to make sure that our foundations for our privacies and our rights are solid and protected, then and only then we will not need to worry about the specific technologies or how our privacies will be invaded.
