Ignorance or what?

In media the coming voting (FRA, 14 Oct.) is of a no news character. But there is some activity in the blog world, at least. In general, the citizens do not bother. I've asked a number of people but they think that if it works out in a way that it will lead to stop or catch some more criminals, then it is OK. But that is not the real issue, is it? If you want to stop robbery or economic crime - do you then scan all citizen´s accounts like a normal thing? It is scanned, I know, but only by the bank in order to protect me from theft. I was lucky a couple of weeks ago when my bank called and said that they wondered about a withdrawal of approx 300 SEK from a vending machine in US. I had done a payment in my local food store about one hour earlier.

But I think that the police and others also liked to have that scan function in action all the time. In fact, if you could detect severe economic crime in real time - maybe we wouldn't have any more financial crises? Bonus payment in + billion USD! That's not very healthy for the world? What still is annoying me is the lack of motive that is driving this development. Is it still terrorism? Isn't that a brain ghost? A night mare? I can find up some more - even worse night mares. Will we sleep better at night with this? Will our government become even more suspicious? More data - more artifacts. Haven't we learned about the scares from the GWB administration and mass destruction weapons?
