yeah it's depressing. I mean come on, how does anyone come to think that
this is a good idea?!
I just don't get it, how they can just campaign to make everyone suspicious of everybody else just for the infinitely small chance that a terrorist is actually caught in this way. Let's just get everyone to report everything "odd" or "suspicious" to the police so that completely innocent people can get fucked over by over-zealous cops and their rights and freedoms taken away for taking a bloody picture.
May I suggest a massive civil disobedience action where all amateur photographers in britain just take pictures of government buildings, cctv camera's etc on a certain day?
Luckily it's not quite so bad over here yet, although of course we are also following the global trend towards more and more invasive government and less and less privacy all in the name of anti-terrorism. (we now have compulsory indentification, plans for a biometric passport linked to a central database etc)
