EFF Sues FBI For Access to Facial-Recognition Records
I think the trend is pretty clear: increasingly more surveillance of everything you do, biometric/DNA recognition systems implemented everywhere, and bringing back army troops and military technology (including drones) for "security" inside the country (and of course further militarization of the police, too).Look what they're doing at the Mexican border. That's only a sample and a "test-run" of what they're planning for the whole country in the next 10 years.Those sci-fi movies about an awful future where the civilians and the society is highly controlled by the government are becoming reality.Now it depends whether the people actually want this to happen, or don't even care about what's happening. I think US has maybe one more chance at the next presidential election and next 1-2 Congress elections to turn this around, if it's not already too late to stop this trend.Once it's entrenched and hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars are spent on this effort, it's going to be very hard to roll it all back. Just look what success Americans have had with rolling back the war on drugs or the military industrial complex (which is to say absolutely none, and that's been going on for decades).
