Truly bizarre that given all the TSA-hate on HN this is the top comment. We (society) all too often get exactly what we ask for. We don't want pervasive surveillance, but we want Google glass and Google web history and personalized search. We don't want full body scanners, but we want perfectly-fitting clothing based on full body scans. Is it really hard to predict that these technologies are going to be used inappropriately?
- r00fus 13y agoApplying preferences/phobias to an aggregate group like HN is going to lead to widely inconsistent results (i.e., meaningless). Example: I don't want Glass or personalized search, nor do I want body scanners, and I am completely fine without custom-clothes tech. My preferences shouldn't apply to all HNers.
