Ever-Present Surveillance Rankles the British Public - NYTimes.com

I was blissfully unaware of Britain’s wide spread omniscience. Being part of a surveillance state is apparently accepted fact.

And here I thought V for Vendetta was just a cute action flick that overused slow-mo again.

Ominous quote of the day:

The Office of the Surveillance Commissioners, which monitors use of the law, found that the Poole council had acted properly. “They said my privacy wasn’t intruded on because the surveillance was covert.”
