The only word for this is, well, scary
Declan McCullagh has an article on ZDNet today that is a must read. If you thought that Poindexter’s Total Infrmation Awareness program was scary you should see some of the other stuff that’s going on. Declan makes a good point, that is, while it is important to look at what is happening with technology and pricacy today, it is more important to consider what we are enabling people 10 years down the road to do. That is are we laying the groundwork for a totalitarian state when people of even less honour than those currently holding office are elected and another 9/11 happenes or is manufactured. Well worth a readf and follow some of the links in the article for more info. Scary stuff indeed.
