Do you leave the door open when you go to the bathroom? Do you like it when people are listening in to your conversations? Do you want someone to just watch you wherever you go? I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of my privacy being invaded whether or not I'm doing something illegal. Even more so than that, I hate the idea of being tracked for the simple fact that it's the principle of my freedoms being taken from me. I don't do anything wrong when I go to the bathroom. Afterall, it is natural to have to go to the bathroom, yet I still shut the door. Even if my phone conversation is innocent chit-chat, I still don't care for people to be listening over my shoulder. I may just be going from home to work and vice versa, but I still wouldn't want someone to tail me. What is it with you people and the screwed-up idea that I'm implying I want to do something illegal because I want my life to be... MY life? Also, I own the government. I should know what they're doing at all times, not the government watching me.

Until then, who cares if the government knows you are at 105 degrees North by 55 degrees East. It doesn't tell them that you are going to the bathroom, what you are saying, or what you are doing at any given time. It simply says where you are in the world.

And when your for example inside a car, it won't work because it acts like a cage of farraday, blocking out all radiowaves. -Ghost-

description: Actually, I'm not one of those Americans saying "keep me safe!" I'm an American saying, "give me liberty or give me death." I would rather die in a terrorist attack than have to lose my freedoms. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." I still hate the idea of being tracked, even if the RFID's tracking capabilities is limited. The lack of tracking capability is irrelevant, anyways.

description: Yeah, there would be pros to it, but the cons completely outweigh them. If you want to be tracked, then it should be a voluntary act to get a microchip implanted in your skin. If you want the government's protection, then you can pay for it by yourself. How are you going to say that's a joke? If I can't have the freedom to choose, what's the purpose of living? I'm not going to be the drone of a few arrogant officials. I'm not perverting what Benjamin Franklin said. My privacy is an essential freedom that would be exchanged for some temporary safety. I'm going to die, anyways, so why should I pretend that I'm invincible by having my government be my keeper? I am not my brother's keeper, and I certainly don't want big brother to be mine. The blip on a screen is my privacy being eroded by the government. I also know about that phone tracking.

description: Heh, sorry... lots of incomplete thoughts there. That's what you get for trying to answer questions in the middle of working. "Liberty or death" is a joke because EVERYONE gives up some liberty by choice, whether they are aware of it or not. The second the government enacts any type of law, a liberty is eroded. Be it to prevent businesses lying to their shareholders, prevent murder from occurring, or to be able to locate someone at a given point and time. The concept of it is fine, but in practice it doesn't hold up. "Privacy" being an essential freedom is correct, however you give up that freedom the moment you open a window or walk outside, or anywhere else someone can see you. That's all this does, with a lot less information than someone in visual range.

description: Should you not be able to choose how much of your private life is available to people at any given time? When you open a window, people will see what you let them see. When you go outside, people will see you, and how much of you, or what you're thinking, you can express by your appearance or what you say; with these things, you choose how much of your privacy is invaded. When you get a bank of credit card, you sign an agreement which states exactly what information can be collected about you. You agree to whatever privacy violations they pose to you; therefore, since you agreed to them, they aren't privacy violations at all. The data protection act is relevant here. If information is given to people that you didn't agree to, you can take the violater to court. You choose the terms by which information about you can be used. It looks to me as though this new technology will make certain things that people normally wouldn't agree to mandatory. If people don't want this stuff implemented, then it shouldn't be implemented. Why am I reminded of The Matrix when I read about this stuff? Sometimes I wish I had the money to go live in the country.

However, those aren't necessities being given up. I give up the ability to take the law into my own hands, and I'm fine with that. Yeah, I give that up when I open a window or walk outside, but the huge GLARING difference between the two? I made the decision to open my window and walk outside. I did so under my own power. Letting the government know where I'm at without me doing so is the impeding on my privacy.

Everyday Americans are not criminals, so why should we be tracked by our government? I'm not under house arrest. I haven't done anything illegal. Also, name some "ridiculous crap" that I've been arguing. I want you to mention why it's so ridiculous, too.

As for the chip in the card I doubt it will hold that much more information than it already held about you. Also on the monitoring point they have had capabilities of monitoring what you say and do for some time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON . I guess that difference here is that with Echelon you actually had to do something for them to have the authority to listen in. I have also seen that recently quite a few things are going that way for example new passports and driving licenses seem to contain information digitally now which I guess is a similar principle.

You know, travelers will "ill intent". There's also a science surrounding this bullshit. I swear to God, why is America being turned into a nation of paranoid fucktards? http://www.lp.org/yourturn/archives/000678.shtml OMFG! This country is getting fucked up from the inside for sure. Seriously, this "Behavior Detection" is the most bullshitest thing I ever heard. And now how many innocent people will now be stopped and questioned...how embarrasing will it be? For example, I have black hair, black eyes and dark skin (I am an immigrant)...and unfortunately I don't smile a lot...OMG! Now they are definitely gonna stop me and ask my intent (yeah right, I am gonna hijack the damned plane!)...think about it. What if other paranoid fucktard air travellers complain to these "officers" (aka legalized steroetyping officers) that this one air traveller look suspicious to them? Damn this shit. It's only gonna affect immigrants/minorities but I think it won't stop the "officers" from stopping whites too just for fucks sakes. P.S. Well, I travel a lot to my native homeland...I will keep everyone here posted if some bullshit happens to me or if I see things like this happening in airports.

description: Behaviour Detection?! ROFLMAO. Please. Will the people detecting 'suspicious behaviour' be of the same excellent, conscientious, and intelligent pedigree as regular airport security? Because every person I have come across in airport security is a total mongoloid. What exactly IS suspicious behaviour, anyway. I'm sure terrorists are smart enough to know NOT to recite verses from the Qu'aran in the terminal. I'm going to have fun with these security measures next time I head out of the continent. I'm already starting to brush up on my "maniacally-evil laugh" , and my "fast-hands" is pretty good. I'll also start perfecting a "mustache twirl" , even though I don't have one. Of course, "shifty eyes" is always very suspicious behaviour; bonus points if you cut out a set of eye-holes in a newspaper, and do "shifty eyes" through that.

On one ahnd they say: OMG NO KEEP US SAFE! and then when their goverment comes up with something that can potentially make a sever difference, they all complain that it infringes their privacy. FYI this wouldn't be all that different from a normal ID as RFID range is very very limited. And when your for example inside a car, it won't work because it acts like a cage of farraday, blocking out all radiowaves. -Ghost- this post screams ignorance
