22. Sounds almost as bad as what civilians would do with it.
Sounds almost as bad as what civilians would do with it.

Animal Farm-1984-ish melodrama aside, the use of cameras and video by civilians for use on unsuspecting civilians seems a much more pressing problem.

You write "Timbuck 2 to have privacy and no one spying on you..." yet indeed, we're already there-- one misstep in public and you're a viral video on Youtube, and a morning coffee-giggle on Facebook. If we are indeed living the dytsopian fantasy of our lives observed, 24/7, that observance comes for the most part from your own neighbors, from the tracking of your habits by corporations you supplied the info to, and the wholly voluntary habit we indulge in of posting this morning's bowel movement on Facebook.
