Is it? Is it really? You do know what a Police State is, don't you? What you saying is you're comparing the UK with places such as Communist East germany or North Korea, you know, ACTUAL Police States.

Also, the idea wasn't to record content, there isn't enough storage in the world to capture all that for everyone.

This would have just logged who you called and when, or what sites you visited. There was never a plan to record convesations or the content of e-mails.

Funnily enough, all the stuff the Telco's keep anyway, for billing purposes.

Don't worry about what the government is doing, worry about what you are going to do when the Poo hits the fan! Tyranny is always beaten by the people in the end. There will be bloodshed, but it will have to happen to regain our country and our freedoms and liberties. I suggest stocking up on food, water, and natural remedies along with vitamins. Codex is about to take affect, and vitamins and natural medicines will be unheard of. Do whatever it takes to stock up on these things. Think of it as if you are going camping, and you need everything you would take camping. You need at least a month's supply. Face it, you may end up in the woods for a while when it all comes down. That brings me to self protection! GUNS! AMMO! Get it! Got it! Good! Need I say more? Hyperinflation is so close I can feel it! Utility bills and fuel at the pump are going up up up! Unemployment is out of control! Crime is way up! Our leader is about to cede the sovereignty of our nation! Our country is being modeled around China! The media reports lies! Prepare now or they're going to load you up on a train bound for the FEMA Camps! Stay away from those evil vaccines! Non-Compliance is the only way to win! Everything the government is doing to tick you off is all a distraction away from the truth! I truly believe they want to kill at least 50% of us, and I'm not going to be one of them! So I say again, stop worrying about what the government is doing, and worry about yourself and your loved ones. Protect you and yours! Prepare! The urban holocaust is coming...

Wow that is the worst idea ever EVER.

Now all criminals will have to do is gain access to that information, and all of our security will be pointless.

Minimal surveillance is a good thing for safety, but there is a point where too much surveillance is a safety hazard.

This could even be used against the people who plan on doing this. You are basically giving information to the enemy.... not getting information from the enemy.

Wow, humans truly have been sedated by something. It must something in their food, and their lack of knowledge of it's effects.

Are you really that surprised? You have been warned this is what would happen.

Welcome to the wonders of a Socialist Dictatorship...

People have been asking, and demanding for it, well, here you have it...

That's only if your algorithm is proprietary and strong enough to not be broken. At NSA, we spend the entire day coming up with new algorithms and then breaking them. If an encryption is encountered that we cannot swiftly decrypt, then sometimes we have a motive to move in to your location and try other options and more "legacy" methods of data collection such as video and audio reconnaissance with insects.

Across the pond as in England? Yes, at Menwith Hill they have an Echelon station that monitors communications. Army recruits are trained here. They can later on become a civilian worker at NSA once they are honorably discharged. www.fas.org...

If you really want to protect your privacy, you need to do a list of things.

1. Use someone else's wireless (preferably really far away with a strong antenna)
2. Spoof your MAC address (unless you bought your PC with cash)
3. Rename your computer name to whitespace (press ALT+255)
4. Boot from a CD such as Knoppix or Whax
5. Use an anonymous proxy server


The above method is exactly what I use for rare instances when I "need to get something done" Anyone else care to add anything to the list?
