It will be difficult for engineers to wash their hands off this level of surveillance, as they are building it. All the dissent is coming from other places, we have not had any protests, resignations or even leaks to warn the public about the level of surveillance underway. This betrays an indifference even support among engineers of invasive surveillance that others find abhorrent. There is a sharp contrast between the unequivocal indignation and outrage similar stories generate on other countries as a reflection of something greater while here they seem to dissipate into a factoid with no larger implications.
