They still don't know as much as people seem to think they know. They don't have a tab on everybody in s ome massive database. There is information and records about people out there. The Gov. doesn't care until you do something they deem suspicious. So they don't know your favorite brand of soda, they don't know about the pot you smoked yesterday and they don't know that the receptionist at work drives you crazy.
Through a little P.I can they find out plenty of details on people? Sure.
Mind reading the masses from some remote base? Bollocks.

When did I ever say I felt this would result in mind reading the masses?
The point I was making was that it would be used to further an agenda, whatever it may be. Don't tell me the Bush administration wouldn't have used this technology on those people if it was available to them.
Mind reading the masses would be ridiculous, I never said that would happen. The fear of it happening would be there, however...and that is what matters.
