So What Will It Take?
Governments around the world, including our very own, have mandated that Internet Service Providers become "wiretap ready" so just in case the government wants to see what information originated where and when, they can "big brother" you. Iran has already used this type of information to imprison Arash Sigarchi, a blogger in that country. Before you say "that would never happen here" think about a few interesting facts:
1) Many dissidents in the US have found themselves on the "do not fly" list solely because of their political views, and not because of any "terrorist activities." It doesn't matter that the government calls political views "terrorism" these days.
2) Our government wants us to all be RFID tagged with special identification that will make it easy to track us wherever we may be.
This significantly disturbing trend has far too few people standing up and saying "this is wrong." Likely because people who do are seen to be "soft on terrorism" and therefore "unpatriotic." Go figure.
