That's odd. The Guardian is upset over privacy intrusion? What about the zillion and a half cameras all over Britain already that count the hairs on their bums?

I can see CCTV really taking off when technology allows unintrusive personal cameras attached to clothing so that you can record everything happening in a 360 degree radius during your day. It would give you the chance to use it as evidence in crimes, car accidents, lawsuits, arguments, etc so that you wouldn't have to bother protesting your innocence.

LOL! My thoughts exactly. The twist is to have one think that it's "US-led." Heck, when gov't snoops look to creating a MATRIX-like data base they look at London...
