How very depressing to see the French Garçons en bleu are joining everyone else in spying on their citizens. As an aside, I just stumbled across that Sky news article on their discovery of Stingray boxes being discovered in use around London - you should read some of the comments. They're all variations of "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear". Well, they do say you get the government you deserve. And if things go on as they are, I'm sure these plonkers will definitely get the government they so very well deservre.
I think it's getting to stage where its a sure bet to assume your phone is being monitored, recorded, stamped and filed big brother style for future investigations. All in the best interests and preventing you from being terrorist'd.
