Wow! And you're exposed to electro-magnetic radiation ALL OF THE TIME! It's light! This can't be that damaging, but the uses of it seem limited and public rights?...]]>Jan 29th 2007 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/british-mulling-security-cams-that-see-through-clothes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/british-mulling-security-cams-that-see-through-clothes/
It's all about intensity, duration and wavelength.

You don't have to be a criminal to get falsely accused of being one... and once you find yourself falsely accused you'd better hope you have allot of money stashed away somewhere to prove your innocence.

Or do you think the state will just fess up to their mistake, let you go and give you a handsome compensation package for your troubles out of the generosity of their hearts when you protest your innocence?

Every step in this - to ensure your safety - direction our world is taking is an erosion of everyone's rights.

The State NEVER admits when it makes a mistake. They simply prosecute the falsely accused until they utterly ruin them to the point where they are powerless to fight for their freedom.

The more security measures the easier it is for you and everyone else to get caught by the system. No one - no not even you - are perfect and completely innocent without a single thing to hide... what happens when the next popular crime is one that you have committed? Think the "little things" that no one cares about right now will remain little forever? What happens when something you think is not big deal is targeted as "leading cause of..." and you find yourself on some list of people to watch?

The point it it's a slippery slope and no one is safe in the long run the longer we stay on it.

If you are a normal human being with nothing to hide, who cares who knows?

In this day of global terrorism, let the powers that be do everything possible to protect us from the possible horrors.

-/ Once the infrastructure to watch me all the time is in place, and should it become valuable, there's no earthly way it can be prevented from getting into the hands of people who can exploit it.

-/ Governments and businesses are always interested in controlling and coercing the public. The trend here is towards increasing amounts of control, and surveillance is a handy part of that.

-/ Increased surveillance doesn't increase security. Whereas, for example, not becoming involved in illegal wars does.]]>Mar 26th 2007 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/british-mulling-security-cams-that-see-through-clothes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/british-mulling-security-cams-that-see-through-clothes/
- The "infrastructure to watch you all the time" already exists in the UK (as the article already said). You don't see a huge black market for that information exploding over there. The same stuff that all this "new" surveillance will capture is the same stuff that a lowly PI can capture now. If you're out in public, you're legally viewable (the see-through-clothes part is debatable, but the fact that you can be seen at all is not). How much or how little is irrelevant. If you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, especially out in public, more surveillance is not an invasion of privacy. There has been no discussion of surveillance inside your house, or in your bathroom, or any other place in which you have any sort of expectation of privacy.

- Governments already have the means to watch you 24x7, without installing new cameras. Space-based imaging can read the newspaper over your shoulder while you sit on your patio. Again, there is no black market for satellite imagery of you. The ratio of satellites to people makes that sort of information prohibitively costly, and re-tasking a military satellite takes an act of God and Congress. Nice try, but it ain't all about you.

- Besides completely ignoring your retarded "war" comment, increased surveillance does indeed mean increased safety and security. If you knew you were being watched 24x7 in public, would you be *more likely*, or *less likely* to commit a crime? Get real. As everyone has said, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got no reason to worry. The Bill of Rights is still a part of the Constitution, last time I checked.

Not to mention, you *completely* missed the point of the article, which was talking about perv cams, to present your innane conspiracy theory-laden babble to an audience who is wondering why you didn't talk about the camera that can see through clothes, and where we can sign up to get that job.]]>May 7th 2007 1:48AM
