First, thanks for giving us an inside perspective on the project. Second...Your comments are exactly the point of the article: these technologies are already here in some form, they are simply being refined/updated/improved/applied,etc Furthermore, whether or not Indect succeeds in its objectives, the objectives themselves will be accomplished by someone. Third: It is up to the public to make decisions about what kind of privacy it wants and needs, and to do so they need to be informed. At least Project Indect has made its objectives known and open for review. I'm sure there exist many other programs with the same objectives that are operating in secret. If the public decides it can accept the 'new privacy' then Indect should continue and metachris and everyone who works on that project should feel proud to do so. If the public rejects the invasion of privacy then they need to push for new technologies to defeat/defend against the intrusions because the development of the intrusion technology cannot and will not be stopped.
