2. Yep...safe even from ourselves.
Soon enough they can just take out anyone who thinks about something wrong.
Total information awareness is upon us. |

8. Before long . . .
Someone may be using the damn things to steal your credit cards and house keys before long, unless I miss my guess.

10. I would imagine
one would need to be a walking cocoon if nets were all we had. Seems to work on electronics, I'd guess some kind of opposing field or detector you wear on your wrist, blah blah...
Something's going to have to keep the service men who launch this safe. I'm sure the Air Force have it all figured out anyway. ahh... technology or savior or our demise. -p |

7. Much more important . . .
Spending tens of billions to develope cool-assed, high-tech crap like this is far more important than rebuilding our nation's infrastructure, educating our children or making sure Americans have decent jobs, housing and health care. I mean, this stuff is just so goddamned cool, right?

13. That is the really sad part.
this high teck crap could be used to set mankind free in a thousand ways...but instead it will be used to enslave and control us.

12. Creepy is right.
Because it can be used on us all...and probably will.
It is the authoritarian wet dream. |

26. Yes of course...if you have the resources.
But the world is poor and getting poorer for the vast majority of people and they are the ones that will be the targets.

27. Possibly, the best
way to counter a technology that hides in plain sight is to hide in plain sight.
