Those cameras actually exist to catch criminals, as they have with terrorists. So far, they have not been used to oppress law abiding people.

The people lost their privacy.

Now their faces will captured from the video and matched to images of known terrorists, or maybe a database is built of their movements based on the excuse, "they could turn out to be terrorists".

People will be hurt. A small % will be "false positives" and have their life investigated, because their face is maybe a 89% match to a terrorist.

While everyone will be regarded as possible criminals by the computer video systems that will be constantly checking on them.

You'll find there are a lot of people who could care less about government abuses or freedom in general as long as thie're giving out free stuff.

Methinks possibly some people are taking movies like EagleEye a little too seriously.

Not that I think excessive government surveillance is a good thing. But lax security is not good either.

Trouble is you can't find much agreement on where the healthy balance is. If there is no solid grasp of common morality, no amount of government force is enough to keep the populace under control (the selfish wicked segment) and safe (the moral but passive segment). Only the rugged individual "myself against the rest of the world" types can thrive in a society that has thrown out all moral, ethical and societal norms.

This is what comes of every man doing what is right in his own eyes. What's right in some people's eyes is to take whatever they feel they deserve no matter what, even if they have to harm everyone around them to acquire it all.
