I'm talking about the bigger picture. But I still "suffer". I'm now being tracked every time I get on and off a transit system. Why does anyone need to know that? It's a privacy issue. Plain and simple. And when cameras are coupled with other items, the overall plan becomes less and less desirable.

[quote:b7012]I just simply don't agree with this statement. Larger security forces have been known to prevent things from happening whether it is the airport checking shoes or if it is a metal dector at the gates. just the known fact that the forces are checking for these things changes things for terrorists. I highly doubt that a terrorist will try to get on a plane with their shoes loaded with plastic explosives again.[/quote:b7012]

I'm not at all talkinga bout security forces. I'm talkinga cameras, id cards and other things that say they need to be implemented in order to stop terrorism.

Tell me how a video camera is going to stop a terrorist. Tell me how a card is going to stop a terrorist. They can't, so why are these programs needed?

[quote:b7012]And when I think of an "evil" act, I can think of some things that are gained by doing so. What will the government gain? Power. I don't understand what they can be happy over when 'you say power'. Alot of people say GWB is a power-hungry man when he tried to pass the Patriot Act. Well, what the hell did he gain from passing this bill? I don't understand.[/quote:b7012]

GWB is a puppet. The government gains control over the people. Why wouldn't a government want to gain more control? That means that they can implement any program they wish.
