The UK is complaining about being in the panopticon??? I want to warn you all!!! Just in case you didn't notice... every person around you has a camera, there is a camera in every shop, many street corners, pretty much every public space... I realize most people know this, but I geuss we have to warn the governments... they invented the thing and they themselves have now come under its inspection.
I think it is a good move towards a more open government, and, one would hope, a decline in "security theatre" and an increase in actual security where it is warranted.
