Being American, it is especially chilling, as I suspect [have even tangible evidence] that on some 'lists' I am considered as 'anti-American' only for my political views and deep political research. Perhaps for some of the political protests I have attended, as well. Etc. So much for freedom of thought, speech, and address of grievances....long gone and dead as a doornail with 911 and the War On [really OF] Terror. I'm sure the same goes on in the UK and elsewhere. Yes, Hitler and Stalin and other such would have given their right arms to have had such technology, control, spying and coercive techniques. How, from where we were, did we ever get here - and without a revolution against where we are?!?!?
