These articles appear to be two peas in a pod, but for some reason they don’t seem to reference one another. This sort of crap has been going on for over 15 years, so our current police state is not something that just sprang up overnight recently. Societies rarely dive into the crapper all at once, generally they take their time at it and it happens so slowly that most people don’t recognize it as it happens.
But hey, all of our lost privacy and personal rights are worth it since we are now totally protected from criminals, liars, cheats, thieves and terrorists, right?
