Episode: High Tech Government Surveillance

We discuss high tech government surveillance with Mark Dice, author of Big Brother, the Orwellian Nightmare Come True and consider how these new surveillance techniques affect your privacy and your liberty.  The subjects we cover include: 

1. the proliferation of public and private security cams which are sometimes integrated by the police

2. facial and voice indentification software that analyzes minute facial expressions and voice patterns to determine whether you are a threat

3. remote monitoring of your conversations via your cell phone or computer webcam

4. important government eavesdropping programs known as Echelon and Carnivore
