LOL-have you ever heard of the Patriot Act????? If big brother wants to, he can.
Your rhetorical question "What's next, surveillance cameras in your house?" reminds me of the Patrick Henry 'Liberty or Death' speech. They tell us, sir, that we are weak -- unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/henry.htm ________________________________ From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 5:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: UK Police planning to hack citizens' PCs Nice..this isn't a hoax is it? http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=5626 "A remote search can be granted if a senior officer says he "believes" that it is "proportionate" and necessary to prevent or detect serious crime - defined as any offence attracting a jail sentence of more than three years" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article5439604.ece I have a HUGE problem with this. What's next, surveillance cameras in your house? In the states it would be done "to make sure there's no child abuse or meth production going on". It's one thing to poll my ISP to see where I've been, another to connect to my PC in my house!
