i hate to be the one to point out the obvious, but how will government locate, surveil, pursue, arrest and/or detain bad guys before they do bad things in a world where the bad guys are increasingly getting the upper hand? technology evolves exponentially as compared to legislation. The bad guys ability to do bad things will always grow exponentially compared to law enforcements ability to arrest and convict them.
the "Big Brother" scenario is old news. So is the New World Order, One World Government, one world currency, cashless society and every thing else. However, information at the speed of light, unbreakable encryption, disposable and untraceable mobile phones and so on is not. This is new and its all right now.
everyone is against Homeland Security
against anything that may considered to possibly infringe on personal freedoms, rights or privacy.... but what are the solutions?
who here is qualified to comment on behalf of INTERPOL, FBI, CIA, Domestic Law Enforcement, Congress about all the obstacles they face in preventing 9/11 scenarios?
9/11 was nothing compared to what the next real attack will be. 3000 dead was simply a logistical, tactical and technological limitation.
the intent is "everyone dead".
remember that when you look at your family tonight. when you kiss your wife and hold your child. thousands of people are trying to kill them right now... and thats a fact no one can dispute.
i for one am not ready to watch millions die in a small pox out break because i was worried that "maybe... possibly... conceptually... someone could listen to my phone call"
why live in the US if you are afraid of your own government?
