The USA is Next, explains authorities.
The BailOut will be increased for Surveillance Companies throughout the States. Investigating teams will be everywhere. Cyber spies will be the highest paid technicians on earth. No where to hide. We will all be watched.

This doesn't really surprise me at all, only that it's not happening already. (Or, maybe it already is!) Remember when we thought 'Big Brother' was just something we read about in books? Thank you Dan.

I don't see why it's such a touchy issue to infringe on the rights of people who are more or less known to be associated with or involved in organized crime, for example some of the men from Eastern Europe who traffick women into England (watch the emmy award- wiining documentary "Sex Slaves") and yet, when it comes to a question of mass civil liberties, well, it's not even really a question for governments. Organized crime and government go hand in hand, they're mutually beneficial phenomena and this is why the criminals never pay for their crimes but the public ends up paying for every petty little detail of daily life that the government can find fault with. Will this monitoring of everyone's communication lead to big arrests and justice for people suffering at the hands of terrorism and organize crime? NO. Instead, some poor 20 year old student will be put away for inviting his friend, by text message, to smoke a joint with him on a Sunday afternoon. Or maybe I'll be put on a dangerous dissenters list of sorts for expressing these thoughts... take that, big brother :-P

It's already being done in the USA. BushCo operates by asking for permission AFTER the plan is in place. This has been going on for years.

Yeah its called the Patriot Act. They used fear to get it passed and no one seems to give two quarters of a shit.
