SECURITY INCREASES: U.S. on guard at home
Safety now measured by the things you see, and things you don't

This shithead collective makes some very casual statements :
Say good-bye to the relative anonymity of e-mail.
Say hello to government "filtering" of suspicious messages.
Say good-bye to the traditional photo identification at work.
Say hello to fingerprint IDs.
Government officials and civil libertarians are also debating the merits of new computer software that is being marketed for terrorist profiling. The software, by Narus Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif., would allow the government to monitor patterns of e-mail, Web site usage and Internet-based telephone calls to flush out potential evildoers.
It's just amazing how quickly people embrace this sheiss without questioning it. Nobody wants to think about what will make us safer, they just leap blindly towards technology and government. It's a sort of long lost father figure problem - save me daddy. It's a sign of how weak our society really is. Maybe the bad guys are not so far off the mark. I'm ashamed by the weakness of our politicians, our journalists and all too many of my "fellow" citizens. Mike
