It's worse than that, It doesn't matter wether such a thing is secure or not, such a horror CANNOT succeed in it's stated objectives. What it can do is provide a way for those in power to STAY in power. It doesn't even matter if you trust the people who currently hold the power, what about the those that come after? How can you be sure EVERYONE who is given this power will use it for good? If you can track peoples movements, actions, spending habits etc, etc. You can find something negative about ANY group of people, enough to discredit any political power they might try to wield. Here is a nice quote from one of the comments on /. "I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life." - Osama bin Laden, Oct 21, 2001. This is the true horror of 9/11, it's still happening. I wonder how many people in the states understand the title of Farenhiet 911? Sorry, this group is not supposed to be political, this is my view only. graham _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
