If the time will ever come that scientists and engineers should adopt some ethical responsibility for their work, it is now.

- hilbert42 6y agoIf ever there was a time when ethics is need in engineering decisions, it's now (for years, I've preached that ethics ought to be part of engineering courses). In various posts years ago I predicted that this spying/privacy scenario wound happen comparatively soon, now it has happened. I then said to the effect that how is 'security' going to check every bug or fly that flies into a military research establishment and sits on a loaf of bread in the staff canteen and then proceeds to listen to scientists discussing secret info. It's bloody nightmare I recon, and methinks it'll only get much worse. Heavens knows where the endpoint of this is likely to be.
