I come from an upbringing that placed an emphasis on questioning the motives of damned near every institution. School fun-night fingerprint booths sponsored by the local police were to be passed by. We live in a society where a significant percentage cannot name the vice president, so it should be no surprise that a miniscule percentage have ever heard of John Pointdexter, DARPA, or Total Information Awareness. Of course trying to have a conversation concerning these sorts of things tends to label you as a conspiracy theorist, paranoid, or an alarmist. Never mind that there are tools that allow the origin of a gunshot to be pinpointed to within ten feet from blocks away. Or that your cell phone conversations, IM’s, texts and emails can be scanned for what are deemed to be incriminating keywords. Maybe its just my paranoia that makes me wonder if these technologies could be merged to have some agent of the government sitting blocks away waiting for you to utter a word that they are not in favor of. - TJ Fri, 15 May 2009 09:32:48 +0100
