"I'm all for law enforcement, but putting the whole country under surveillance is scary." Don't get too up tight over that thought. The gov't simply lacks the resources to effectively monitor everyones moves at all times. IMO, the worst case scenario is that they use existing technology to flag potential criminal acts & act on them. It might get you for some illegal moving violations, but how many serious criminals would be thwarted if the technology is properly used? Sure it can & will be abused, like anything else throughout history. And when that happens, we need to make sure that it is severely punished & place appropriate checks & balances in the system.
