Congressman Chabot, the cellphone never blinks: Phillip Morris

Personal privacy is mostly a quaint notion, a relic. That's what many privacy experts contend.

The concept exists now mostly in the minds of the blissfully ignorant, the delusional and those who remain hidden in the world's shrinking rainforests.

In the age of Big Brother, satellites and omnipresent cellphone cameras, we're all potential material for the paparazzi to some extent.

That's why I'm a bit torn by the decision of U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, a Cincinnati Republican, to encourage the confiscation of the cellphone cameras of two Democratic activists who attended his public town hall meeting earlier this week.
