The comments that I've seen miss what I would contend is more to the  
point.
When people become conditioned to accepting snooping, and spying as a  
normal
part of their lives, the mere knowledge that they are likely to be under
surveillance at any time will cause them to adjust their living
unconsciously to conform to what others decide is convenient.  
Behavior--and
eventually thought itself--become regulated to displays of unthinking
obedience. No thanks. I'd rather keep my pride and dignity intact and  
accept
the risks that come with living in the real world--which have little  
to do,
in any case, with the lies and fantasies dispensed daily to promote  
paranoia
in the sheep pen.
