Any form of blanket surveillance on private citizens is BAD news. Once recorded, the information either from wiretaps or cameras is retained and becomes a vast database that scoops up many more blameless law-abiding people than it does criminals. As another poster pointed out. The widespread use of CCTV in Britan has done little to assist with crime clearance rates. A recent study showed that cameras do discourage crime in their vicinity. However, the criminal acts simply move to a location that isn't covered by a camera.
While I'm on the subject of security leeching away liberty. I recently saw an article showing an individual with an RFID smart card marked "CLEAR" that allowed him to skip the line at TSA checkpoints. It's intriguieng to see constant reposts of "over zealous" TSA officials making up their own laws and generally making life hell for ordinary citizens (I don't think they've caught a single terrorist yet)
I firmly believe that this "CLEAR" card is the vanguard for an implanted RFID chip that will relieve the suffering of those travelling by air in the US. Once they've softened you up with over zealousness, think of how relieved you'll be to waft through security while your RFID chip tells the TSA everything they want to know. So simple.
Some downsides however. Some criminal may have scanned your unsecure RFID in the line and is now cleaning out your bank accounts. In addition to that, your every move can now be tracked. Think of the fun you'll have when you're arrested for merely being scanned in the vicinity of an anti-government protest.
