Yeah, people in developed countries like the US and the UK have no tolerance for letting the government get away with stuff like this.  When the PATRIOT Act was passed in the US, there were riots in the streets that shut down major cities for days.  Eventually tanks had to be called in to put a stop to the riots.<p>Oh wait.<p>(As soon as people's daily lives get good enough for them to have some free time for watching TV or owning a yacht, they stop caring about what the government is doing.)
