> That the Powers That Be are even capable of reliable remote surveillance... is very much a recent occurrence. Yep. Many of our laws and regulations sorely need updating to match the world in which nearly anyone can set up 24/7 surveillance very, very, very cheaply and cops can go to a handful of businesses to find out who we talk to, what we're saying, and what we're reading about. Things that made sense when you had to put a guy in a place to keep watch, to follow a guy to see who he talks to, or go door to door to ask folks in a neighborhood what happened on a particular date are much less likely to make sense in the world we live today.
