	Are you sure it doesn't?

	"Brand New WiFi Glasses Hidden Camera 1080P without any lens hole with two legs battery for at least 2 hours working time US $49.0-52.0 / Piece"

	That's video at 2000x1000 pixels for $50. So we can asume that the surveillance state scum uses even higher resolution.

	And then, the cameras they use can be pointed and can zoom in. I assume it's rather easy for them to do motion detection and then take pictures of people. 

	And of course there's more

	Aaannddd, it's getting worse every day.

	Cars are tracked using cameras that read plate license numbers. I don't think a gps jammer will help much. Also I assume that sooner or later all cars will be radio linked to govcorp, and the moment they stop reporting their location, the cops will show up. How cool is that? 
	
	That is, until today's cars are replaced by google garbage and similar 'self driving' garbage. At which point...

	Yes, it seems one could build/use different devices to work around the backdoored systems that govcorp provides. But acquiring such devices isn't necessarily easy for average users.

	I guess it depends. For instance, I'd expect parks in cities to be especially surveilled. And places that are not yet surveilled can be easily put under surveillance. 

	The article mentions 
	
	"focus on customer convenience" 
	"developments that serve the convenience" 
	"convenience that is required by most modern consumers "

	Seems to me that 'convenience' and avoiding surveillance are mutually exclusive goals.

	I wasn't commenting on tor either. I'm commenting on the fact that the article claims that facebook and chinese companies will provide secure channels. Which frankly means the article is taking the readers for idiots.
