What I'm saying is that monitoring communications will expand to everyone, everyhwere, just as Britain's traffic cameras have.
See, I disagree. We're not like the British. They have a history of being pushed around by their kings and lords. That's not our history and I doubt we'd stand for something like that.
Look at the anger people have over the traffic light cameras (to catch those who run red lights) here.
They installed those in super blue, uber liberal Philadelphia and there's enough public outcry that I think they may remove them. You try hooking that up to a monitoring data base, and you'll have every politico in support of it looking for a real job next election cycle.
