Even though this is way behind the power curve, Ms. Turner makes some valid points. They've been putting "black boxes" in cars for years now. My owners manual for my truck even makes a statement about the data recorder installed in the truck. Nothing is secret of private any longer. If you don't want "it" read, never write "it" down. It you don't want "it" heard, never say "it". If you don't want "it" video'd, don't do "it". Sucks don't it?

I say we put little black boxes on each and every government agent/employee and all elected officials.

Just to be sure they aren't up to something.

Farady invented a lock box for these.

Here in the USA, cameras have been quietly installed along the interstate highways, usually near signs with important information such as exit info or speed reduction notices, so the cameras are not usually spotted.
Gathering info and watching...

That has kind of been the standard for Christians and for honest professionals since time immemorial ("Good news in writing, bad news in person.") Welcome, newbies!

These plans go far beyond just recording data to be examined in the case of a crash, however. This is for tracking you wherever you are on earth. You can expect to show up on video or in photos if you travel major routes that are covered with cameras, but new black boxes will tell Them where your car is at every moment.

I imagine someone could develop quite a lucrative business in disabling or miscalibrating these.

Facebookers voluntarily gave away facial recognition data by the terabyte, along with personal/political/religious data.

States w/o front licenses plates on cars are now adding them.

Websites/search engines pop up ads related to past searches.

Doc’s ask non-medical lifestyle questions.

Cell phones are not really off when off.

Wonder who will most use Google Glasses and why...
