Beware of Big Brother Web part two
Regarding the latest meeting in Montreal last month about privacy and "state security" ie, becoming either enemies or enemas of the state, this US Homelands Security Secretary, Micheal Chertoff addressed the privacy forum, offered some rather bizarre and puzzling suggestions that his country is improving privacy by collecting all manner of information on US and foreign citizens.The only thing that he didn't talk about was when the US government was going to start a national chip implant program into every man, woman and child in the US.
If anyone who values their privacy, they must be willing to surrender any and all personal information, submit to all types of electronic body-scans at airports, ports and prepare for other technological invasions to help security officials identify potential terrorist threats, according to Heinrich Himmler, sorry, Micheal Chertoff, in his speech.
"I actually believe that many of the measures we take serve to enhance security and serve to enhance privacy,: said Chetoff.
Chertoff's controversial remarks were met with some loud concern by some privacy experts, who took public aim at the Homeland Security Department's invasive techniques and over-collection of public and private information.
