I somewhat agree. However, it's incredibly dangerous for everyone to give up privacy while the government continues doing things secretly. If we all must be forced to be exposed, so should the government.
Yes, I understand but I honnestly don't see how it can be possible to detect misbehaviors or threats without surveilliance. There is a dilemma there I can't yet dealth with.
Surveilliance methods are easy to defeat once you know how they work and where they are applied. This is why they are kept secret. Maybe the cummunication capacity and the terrorist threat has developped to fast for taking the time tothink of the optimal approach in terme of efficiency and respect of privacy and rights. The strategy used so far is not ok. I fully agree and we need methods to ensure there is no abuse like for the civil forfeiture law.
This is the role of the feedback control loop. With such a loop Abuse or inadequacy cab be detected ASAP and corrected ASAP. Secrecy, and keeping the control to some arbitrary authority, is preventing to have such objective and independent feedback control loop. This is in my opinion the true problem in what happens with the NSA and in Europe too.
