What the...?

[adderslj]

Now this is a strange article. BBC Technology writer Bill Thompson is arguing that new technological measures put in place by the Bush Administration are turning the US into something of a Police State. That initially seems rather rich, given that we have CCTV cameras on most street corners these days. However, he acknowledges that later on. So, perhaps this is a decent argument that things are not necessarily that much worse in the UK.
