I didn't say it was. It's merely more information that, in the usual sense, shouldn't matter. The idea that all this information can be collected and, quite possibly, used against you in the future is what has me avoiding it.

That's the key question.   MHO is that a kneejerk anti-tech reaction gets us nowhere.

It's not a threat to your freedom ... now. These systems are meant to target terrorists types. And that's not you... now. But project yourself into an America that's gone totalitarian. Trains are running to camps... You might be the target.

The systems that protect us in our day, can be switched and used against us... and that's the fear.
