someone obviously thinks most people are a threat - so it's taking actions to prevent them from ____(something). exercising liberty and rights is a good guess. how about the right to life,liberty, happiness - aka property.

- You don´t realise that anyone with access to your info stream can use it against you: adultery, non-normal sexual behaviour, political views, union work, websites visited, research conducted, conversations about goverment/others and so forth. Plenty of examples of misuse of such info. AND: the fact that such data bases cannot possibly be "hacker proof". Simple point is: why do we need surveilliance? Is the terrorist threat really that big?

It sounds familar to you, because it was the track that was playing in the movie The Matrix, as Morpheus explains what the Matrix is to Neo in the Sidewalk scene. Kinda of fitting to include it in this video. ;oP

Nice piece of work. I agree w. insight from oxygene82...having seen it first hand.BTW, what is the song in last 10 second s (Moby?)...familiar but can't place it.

Productivity is not necessarily the same as time spent on a task. Research has shown that quality of work can be raised dramatically by actually loosening the leash. How much you should loosen is of course hard to measure. But I think that the problem starts earlier; why hire staff that you don't trust? If you hire them, trust them and let them take responsibility. I've seen the opposite a lot, with companies hiring people and then showing great distrust, and subsequently failing tremendously.

People who has nothing to hide should not be subject of surveillance since they have nothing to hide.

My roommate plays video games on the internet with a 30 year old man who says he is at work. It is people like that who cause the need for surveillance.

If they have something private that they are trying to hide from their boss, they it obviously isn't work related and they are therefore stealing time from their company. In that case, the employee is NOT the biggest asset, and rather, a liability. An employee needs to earn their companies trust while at the same time recognizing the need for some measure of surveillance to keep people in check.
