This is a scary article ....bobf

excerpts:

"A total surveillance is not only inevitable and irreversible, but also
irresistible," Jeff Jonas, distinguished engineer and chief scientist at IBM
Entity Analytics, said during a panel on surveillance at the conference on
Saturday."

"The fact that all sorts of data about each of us is being gathered and is
archived, searchable, and can be compiled to create profiles about each of us
is what makes digital privacy intrusions so much scarier than pre-Internet
life, she said."

"Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor at George Washington University and the legal
affairs editor of The New Republic, warned of "privacy chernobyls," which he
described as "new threats to privacy that have the potential to transform
society in troubling ways".
