Well its better being out in the open that being done clandestine like it has been done in the past, I honestly don't see the problem if you've nothing to hide they don't have the personnel to sort through everybody's email, texts, twitter or what ever and why would they want to, people are chasing shadows when there's no shadows to chase, plus the fact is there will be stringent regulations as well

Or the yanks ... those sob's have tunnel vision when it comes to oil ... and, let's face it, they consider South and Central America to be well and truly in their sphere of influence.

C'mon ... that's not the point ... it's too much like ditching the presumption of innocence. Sure, there are those out there planning terrorist attacks. But why waste time and resources monitoring the probably innocent, while the bad guys go ahead with their plans. What could be done, in all countries in danger of attacks from Islamic militants, is to target dodgey Islamist organizations. Forget the PC garbage, and monitor likely sources of problems. I don't see many problems emmanating from radical C of E adherents or Conservative riding assosciations.

And, shouldn't that be "nowt"

If they are able to monitor everyone then no individual group could argue they were being targeted.

Those with someone to hide would just find another way to communicate.

I think email encryption would start to become a lot more common as well.

Every individual group could argue they were being targeted, as could every individual! Use the wrong 'trigger' word, name or phrase and your details would leap out on a screen as requiring investigation.
They couldn't constantly monitor all of us but they could easily highlight those they thought they should!
Some of the posters on Accyweb would leap out on a few screens!
