In retrospect, it's truly amazing.

There is more computing/communication power in a latest entry cell phone than was available to the astronauts on the Apollo missions.

You ever get that weird feeling, some one is watching you??!?

Note that your computers can do the same thing to you --- mics can be turned on to listen to you over the net likely without you knowing.

If you are real paranoid you will just have to entirely eliminate electronics from your life.

Soon - if you get chipped , you wont even be able to be free if you are running around nekkid.  The new passports are chipped -- feds want it in drivers licenses.  Welcome to Nazi Germany.

Not necessarily Glenn.....

we've hit on this subject before. The biggest threat in this country is convenience. Security is inconvenient. I have all pre pay phones. With the exception of one that I keep the same number in and do not use that often (Mostly for incoming calls) I change, names, numbers and phones on a regular basis and keep the phone off, unless I'm using it.

The same with internet carriers. A cantenna is a wonderful thing. Keep personal documents and data on an external hard drive and for heavens sake, always lie on forms on the computer and on line.

Pre pay gift cards instead of credit cards, round out the collection.

Just do what the drug dealers do!

If only it was truly security though.

The idea is to make it inconvenient for them also....Can you still be tracked, sure. But if your important enough to warrant the expense and effort of doing it the old fashioned way, your in real trouble anyway.

Yeah-- I don't have anything they would really want except a bad attitude.
