Big Brother Wants to Watch You Digitally

WASHINGTON

[SLB]

Coming soon to all you Rummy supporters.

[MissMillie]

Thanks to the Patriot Act, the Fourth Amendment no longer exists.

[cubreporter]

And non-Rummy supporters as well.

[sam_paine]

Yep. We'd be much better of with Cohen as SecDef. [/sarc]

[SLB]

When anyone starts sending out flames from my earlier thread on Ex-Sec of the Army White they need to read between the lines on this.

[DCPatriot]

You have a better chance of shaking hands with Jesus than ever seeing this (becoming the law of the land) come to fruition.

"The allegation that this technology would create a machine to spy on others and invade people's privacy is way off the mark," Walker said.

This has to be the most pathetic attempt at lying I've ever heard.

[Dead Corpse]

Didn't we say that about the Brady bill as well?

[sam_paine]

Thanks to the Patriot Act, the Fourth Amendment no longer exists.

That's a stretch to connect, missy. This article talks about logging data on idiots that volunteer to wear a GPS receiver that logs and uploads their every move.

Any other data that can be "mined" about unsuspecting folks can and has been already snooped with or without your knowlege BEFORE the Patriot Act showed up. YOU already allow the NSA to have a black budget that nobody can watchdog, so what's your beef?

You have a better chance of shaking hands with Jesus than ever seeing this (becoming the law of the land) come to fruition.

As a born again believer I truly want to shake hands with my Savior some day.

If this program is strictly voluntary, then I don't see too much of a problem.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I'm not that worried because this is a government agency we are talking about.

Government agencies are nothing if not incompetent.

The IRS can't even get a computer system to work right after spending billions and billions on several of them.

It's the systems being put together by private corporations that worry me.

[Gramps]

Thank God! At last I can check to see if I've already read the book at the library or seen the movie at the rental store . Why didn't they think of this years ago?

[umgud]

Technology is a double edged sword. One of my business contacts has one of those new phones with photo ability. His boss has started asking him to send pics to prove he is where he is supposed to be.

[Teacher317]

The least we can do for beloved Big Brother is get him HDTV for the surveillance cameras. We owe him at least that much for all he's done for us... and will do to us.

[Zavien Doombringer]

[Ramius]

I've heard they're even working on an even worse new spy device called a "telephone". Believe it or not, everybody will be forced to have a "number" assigned to them. Then when you speak, someone (maybe even a government agent) hundreds of miles away will be able to listen to every word you say.

Chilling, isn't it?

[freeeee]

If this program is strictly voluntary, then I don't see too much of a problem.

I think its painfully obvious that the voluntary phase is only during research and development.

A Spy Machine of DARPA's Dreams (Big Brother's Big Brother)

Technology is a double edged sword

Our government has a track record of using technology in ways that don't invade our privacy in the same way that drunken, blind 10 year olds have a track record of driving safely.
