The Developing Super-Steroid Surveillance State

A friend, who travels in certain circles, has just outlined for me the direction the surveillance state is taking. I am absolutely shocked. And you are hearing this from a guy who has not been impressed to date with the Edward Snowden leaks.

I don't want to end up running my life from the transit zone at Sheremetyevo airport, so I won't say more about this (for now), other than that in the very near future just about the only place to hold a private meeting will be in a Turkish bathhouse.

  3. Even with smart dust, micro drones, etc., the greatest asset in past and future will always be people willing to work as agents and informants for a robust secret police force. No technology can match the willingness of a morally corrupt individual who's willing to sacrifice the life of another for their own aggrandizement. There's a haunting scene in "The Lives Of Others" where a Stasi agent tells the neighbor of a surveillance target that her daughter will be expelled from university if she mentions anything to the target. No batteries required.

    By the way: if you see something, say something.
