Why do you think they have? Could it be that intellectuals deeply resent the fact that the population as a whole does not recognize that they are superior beings who have all the answers (sarcasm)?

Ever read Koontz's book Dark Rivers of the Heart? Scariest book I've ever read. No devils, no ghosts or spirits just an evil man with government access to everybodies computer information.

No, I've never read it but I can imagine why it is scary.

"Dark Rivers of the Heart"Oh, my God, what has it been? Ten years ago? I still remember every page.
No other book like it!
I'd love to be privy to his research for that book.
Do you think he had NSA pals help him or what.
In terms of Gov. snooping, it's more important than 1984!
And to think, it was written in the previous century!

In terms of Gov. snooping, it's more important than 1984! One of the scariest parts was when the bad guy used the search and seizure laws to take down the cop that was getting to close. Ouch! That was when I first started understanding just how bad things were getting.

I'm curious why it's not serialized on the sci-fi channel or something like it, it's certain to do better than the "What's it's name files".

I would think at least a movie is warrented. The Net was ok but not as good as this one would be or as plausible.

VERICHIP * RFID. Let's bar code and track you. Bagged, tagged, caged and tamed. If you THINK you have $50,000 in your hand, don't worry we can automatically "adjust" your account. You have 5,000 speeding incidents recorded this month, so we'll call it even til next month.
Next month, your soul. If you resist? ... well you wouldn't want to do that ....
The sheep are being led to the slaughter. "No big deal."

Well, on the other hand;
How can we afford to maintain the government in the manner to which it has become accustom?

You could be right. Of course, they never will be -- the men of action will always take charge over a bunch of vacillating pencil-necks (and I speak as a PhD pencil-neck).

My cell phone broadcasts when it is on, like all cell phones...but it does not broadcast my position..all anyone could know is what area of reception I am in, and that can be more than one. Wrong. Your position can be caluculated to within a few feet. Mobile phone "GPS" does not use satellites, it uses signal strength to antennas and the location of the antennas to calculate where you are. You have been bagged and tagged.

Gonna be big market for "jammers". That way you can use your E pass at the tolls, then turn on your jammer and blot out the signal when you don't want it broadcast.

These transponders are about the size of a deck of playing cards, and you put them on the windshield of the car. Shouldn't be hard to shield the signal when you don't want to transmit......

Not true if you are only accessing one cell site, or if you are mobile. It can ID an area/vicinity , but not a location to within a few feet.

I agree about the jammers and rfid blockers. The sad thing thing is we would need to resort to such things to prevent government snooping. Look for the day when the governemnt makes jammers and rfid blockers illegal.
To: stuartcr
That is only true if ONLY one tower recieves your signal. In 80% of mobile wireless coverage areas (maybe more for CDMA) more than one tower sees your signal and the sytem must decide which tower you will be connected through. Which is also why the mobile wireless network already collects the data needed to locate you.
