Excellent summation Moni [img]smile.gif[/img]
Yes, in everyday, real world applications of our rights as citizens what you say is dead-on true. I was approaching it more from a constitutional law sense, not in the real world application of those rights.

When he was at Sainte-Mère-Eglise, celebrating the memory of the 9000 American soldiers killed during the Normandy landing, Dubya said : "For the good of the U.S, for the good of France, for the good of the free world, I promise to make sacrifices comparable to those of our ancestors" ... At a dinner with Poutine, the russian president said facetiously that, after their eggs have been taken, the sturgeons were sewed back and put back in the river ... and Dubbya told Poutine seriously that he believed him ... Three days later in Paris, as he was with our President Jacques Chirac at the Elyseum (the French "white house"), when asked two questions in a row by a journalist, he mixed up the answers, then said "That's what happen when you're over 55" ... imagine Chirac's face, who is 72 ...

ok, now this is just scarey. I have been reading this excellent book by David Brin called "The Transparent Society - Will technology force us to choose between privacy and freedom?" This book was written in 1998. I just came across this passage that is relevant to this very thread
Quote:
The book poses some very complex questions and situations in regards to the apparent dichotomy of privacy vs security. Brin argues that we can have both if we have two way transparency. If you get a chance to check this book out I highly recommend it.
