UK surveillance program could expose private lives

http://j.mp/LeF0dS  (AP / Quad City Times)

   "British officials have given their word: "We won't read your emails."
    But experts say the government's proposed new surveillance program
    will gather so much data that spooks won't have to read your messages
    to guess what you're up to."

The seriously disingenuous aspect of Kane's comments is his equating
government collection of mass header and traffic analysis data on an
involuntary basis -- with voluntary usage of Web-based services.
Trying to equate the two in the privacy realm is fundamentally
dishonest.
