the surveillance state

Samizdata.net points to this article on teh misuse of CCTV, now doesn't that make you feel safer knowing you are the mastibation fantasy of some low paid security guard somewhere, who will do absolutely nothing if there is an actual crime outside your house as he is too busy getting his (or her) rocks off over you?

With the wonders of Perv-O-Vision they don't even have to rely on their imagination to find out what you look like naked, they get given a massively expensive machine by the government to do it for them.

But at least we don't have ID Cards yet so that you can actually move about without harassment from the police for, well, existing.
