How do you feel about this?
You are traveling a distance with family or friends, and in the rear view mirror are 3 black Suburbans with red and blue lights behind the grill. They don't pass you nor are driving oddly.
About an hour down the road you pull in for gas and all 3 pull in behind you, stopping back from you. When you get going, they are again behind you. Another hour later you all stop at a restaurant, and all 3 cars follow you in.
While you are sitting at the table, you see them looking in all the windows of your car, and then those 6 from those cars come in and all are wearing badges. 2 have their hand crossed over under a jacket as if having their hand on a gun in a shoulder holster. All 6 stand in a corner near you and never take their eyes off you. Not for a second.
You ask, "Can I help you with something?"
You get a dry "no."
Then you ask "it seems you are watch us."
One of them replies, "Yes."
You ask "why? "
One of them answers: "To keep you safe and to make sure that none of you hurt anyone."
You ask "Are we in danger?"
The answer: "Yes, all of you are danger. Everyone is in danger."
You ask: "Do you think we are dangerous to other people?"
And the dry answer back is "that what we are trying to figure out about you."
Is there anything in that senario you would be troubled by? Would be glad they are there doing this?
That is how I feel about the massively growing level of government surveillance of everyone.
How do you feel about this topic of universal government surveillance and records keeping on everyone?
