surveil your whereabouts whenever you go on the city streets and highways. And the Feds want to implant cameras and RECORDING MICROPHONES into your new Digital Televisions, so they can track your "advertising preferences," which I'm sure is another of their lies.

And 30,000 armed Drones are taking to your neighborhood skies, searching for "citizen terrorists"!!! They've written their way around the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and armed local police like a militia, so you have no real say in the process anymore.

The Police State has arrived!
