Tell that to all those people who have been wrongly convicted. They had done nothing wrong so had nothing to fear but they still ended up in jail – for years in some cases.

I'm all for the defence of real civil liberties, but personally I have no fear of high tech systems being used to monitor all and sundry, if it helps protect the civil liberties of a democratic society, and in anyway help in the fight against terrorism.

Paranoia about an Orwellian nightmare I'll leave to those people who probably already have a bunker prepared for Armageddon, and a pantry full of tinned stuff.
