LynAlden (nprofile…ad8w) is right, of course. But what if we turn this argument on its head? What if we use the cause of security to inject privacy back into the system?

The fact is that security REQUIRES privacy. And the system itself has real security problems. If we, by some sly means, gave the system an irresistible way to secure itself... and enabled privacy for all in the process... wouldn't that be the greatest reverse trojan horse of all?

Government officials often use “security” as an excuse to take your rights. They’ll increasingly say they need to surveil and control your communications and payments to keep people secure.

How about starting with the streets and trains and such? If they were actually serious about security more-so than control, they’d make sure that basic stuff is sorted out first.
