“Pretending to be Bond, they set up a new Facebook page, using the alias Phileas Fogg, and sent messages to his friends, suggesting that this was a way to keep in touch now that he was on the run. Two thirds of them got in contact. As a result, the investigators were able to crash parties and find out more about Bond in conversation.”
Whoa.

Yes, if your face happens to look like all those images we see of criminals’ faces blurred out for privacy’s sake.

coming soon..... Obamacare??
"The National Health Service is unrolling a multibillion-pound IT project that will upload millions of patients medical records on to a database, freely accessed by 250,000 NHS staff and, to a lesser degree, by private health companies, council workers, commercial researchers and ambulance staff. Letters are going out now, strongly urging us all to allow this and making it as hard as possible to opt out."

So, can we hire the detectives to dig up the real scoop on Obama?

Terrifying how much government knows about us.
We need a new book, 2084. The government has gone beyond the book 1984.
The only good news for us is that the government is drowning in a vertual tsunami of information about us. If they want to go after a single individual or a group, they can nail you in short order. They have tons of information on you. But there is so much information to cull and process, they will never have the manpower to go after people in great numbers. They are drowning in information.
Our best chance for privacy is no longer anonymity, but to bury the government in so much virtual information, they simply get lost in it all.

Publicity stunt to help him sell his upcoming book.
If he had really wanted to disappear he sure wouldn’t have kept in touch with his wife.

David Bond seems rather kooky, but it’s a good article overall about disappearing in a surveillance state.

Got a link to the wired piece? Or a title, etc? Sounds interesting.
