The inescapable rush of technology is forcing us to make new choices about how we want to live. In this era of gnat-sized cameras and clothes penetrating radar, it will be more viltal than ever for us 'TO WATCH THE WATCHERS'. By ensuring accountability throug reciprocal transparency we can detect danger and expose wrong doers, we can gauge the credibility of pundits and politicians ..and maybe even preserve a little privacy. The bigger threat to our freedom is that surveillance technology will be used by too few people, not too many.
