Wired Magazine points out that technology deployed to catch terrorists will inevitably be used for other purposes as well.
It’s hard to argue that it should not be – if the technology exists to catch those doing wrong, why not deploy it?
It is probably true that ‘minor’ transgressions will ever more be detected and punished. Either people will have to become much more rule-abiding or they will have to have the rules changed. Or they will end up in much more trouble. My bet is on the last.
