David Brin: Total Information Awareness and Crime Reporting Apps
The chilling thing about the new NSA facility is not how much better it will let government “protectors” see, in order to better protect us. The scary thing is that there won’t be officers of a uniformed and independent Inspectorate, roaming the halls on our behalf, making sure that protection is the only thing going on. Or better yet, dozens of randomly chosen citizens (with security clearance) whose universal-access badges give them the right to poke their heads in any door and ask any question.
