E-borders - the new frontier of oppression
Topic: Politics and Law 8:20 am EDT, Mar 17, 2009

Libby Purves:

There is something fundamentally unnerving about being watched.

“But,” splutters government when we jib at this, “it's for your own good! We're protecting you!” The same tone of hurt ministerial outrage will be heard more and more as people come to realise exactly what is involved in the vast new “e-borders” system, currently being set up to track everybody's international travel just because a tiny minority are up to no good.

Have you seen "The Lives of Others"?

From the NYT coverage of a recent TRUSTe survey:

More than half of respondents said government should be “wholly” or “very” responsible for protecting an individual’s online privacy.
