"I don't know about others, but I am not adverse to a DNA data base, carrying a biometric ID card or being monitored. Provided it is all done openly. Where I have serious issues with the system is the covert nature of it. What is the point of surveillance and information gathering if the authorities then fail to act on the information because it would alert those being watched to being watched? It seems strange to me that criminal cases collapse because evidence of guilt is not presented because it would expose members of the security services or their methods and abilities (and therefore by extension crimes must be allowed to occur for the same reason). It seems even stranger that 3 teenage girls can board a flight to Turkey and be gone days before the security services know about it! Maybe we would all be better off if our governments were less interested in secrecy and control, and more interested in protecting those they are supposed to serve. Bet I am on quite a few watch lists... Maybe I even help keep someone employed! " . I'm actually on the police records as a domestic extremist because of my attendance's at environmental rallies. I know this as I paid my fee to see my file under the data protection act. | |||

" I can't disagree with you, as well as the secrecy aspect, my issue is that due to human nature many people in positions of power/trust would/do misuse the powers they have and the powers they seek. | |||

Funilly enough, I am pro nuclear weapons and think CND's arguments are severely flawed but again it is a debate that is stifled because of secrecy. (Starting a nuclear cascade is not difficult if you have the right materials. In fact it has a name, it is called 'tickling the dragon's tail'. But I digress). If anyone truly believes that atomic weapons have no place in the world all they need to do is read the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances (1994), note its signatories, look at what is happening in The Ukraine and contrast that against the regular attacks made by North Korea against its neighbours. Ask yourself 2 questions, would the Russian Federation be attacking Ukraine (they are) if Ukraine still had a nuclear arsenal? Would the rest of the world tolerate North Korea's aggression if it did not have the bomb? I truly believe that secrecy allows too many unhelpful misconceptions to develop where facts and realities are hidden. | |||

Lol it's a friggin joke, did you pay to see yours, mine was actually quite funny. They reckon there's about 30,000 people held on the police data base as domestic extremists and being classed as that, it gives them powers to snoop on you, track your emails, track your movements, log your friends, where you work, who you meet!!! | |||

Your argument is flawed as well. South Korea is in a nuclear alliance and the north still attack them!. Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons and they still have troubles. Unfortunately the secret for them is out and can not be held back from other countries much longer, so I can probably have some allegiance to your stand point. | |||
