How long shall we keep falling into the same error time after time thinking that human nature is basically good? The kind of data that appears to need such security is the kind that (1) is produced by the everyday lives of people, (2) of which people have little or no knowledge and/or of which they do not care (to their own peril), and (3) that can (read: will) be used against them for for whatever purposes including but not limited to the political.
Cynicism is merely a secular expression of a non-secular principle. Economic liberty without political liberty is a mockery of both.
Here is another posterchild case as to why those who have a stake in the system should have no place on a jury. If a person's investements include corporations that produce or distribute intellectual property, there is the presumption of contamination on the part of that person if he/she is empaneled on a jury. The first questions that should leave the lips of the defense counsel during voir dire should be "Do you or your spouse derive any income from intellectual property?","Do you or your spouse have investments directly or indirectly in entities that produce and/or distribute intellectual property?" A persons net worth usually drives his or her ideology. More to lose means more likely to convict.
I appreciate your stance. In our present world where the government views all within its jurisdiction with the presumption of guilt (a.k.a. homeland security), the goal for all systems design is first and foremost security (You reserve the right to laugh as you please). This means hacker proofing everything.
What if this becomes part of a continually checking system? It would be the sort of thing like software phoning home. If the onboard computer does not make contact with the shut-down server after so many seconds, it will record a tampering incident in non user-clearable NOVRAM. This can be transmitted to one's Motor Vehicle Bureau and surprise! a ticket in the mail! "We know that you tampered with your vehicle's computer. It told us so!" This will be a bitch to disprove because motor vehicle jurisprudence reverses the burden of proof. Why? 'Tis because (everyone chime in now) DR1V1NG 1S A PR1V1L3G3!

It's only a matter of time before this becomes necessary to insure or register a vehicle. Inspection procedures will be amended to check if such has been rendered inoperative (like emission control equipment). For those who think of making their own inspection stickers with a high end color laser/inkjet printer and graphics software have another thing coming. In New Jersey, one can lose a driver license longer than DWI (1 - 3 years) - NJSA 39:8-18. More and more states are using holograms or barcodes based on hashed data on their vehicle-affixed documents.
Why should anyone be concerned? After all, powered personal mobility, perhaps the highest expression of individual liberty, is a privilege. Soon, a simple majority of the USA population will have come from overseas. As such, they are less likely to challenge authority, for they are here for the money and not for the values. Most of these did not hold a driver's license overseas and so they continue to take public transit or become a nuisance on the roads (i.e. slow-moving sub-compact import? Pass and look who's in the driver's seat--D[riving]W[hile]A[sian]!).

[computer] Bink! ( Mouse pointer turns into mauve triangle)
I remember back in 1988 that legislation was passed in England that pretty much gutted their equivalent of the USA Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination, It allowed "a jury to deduce guilt from silence". Although it was passed with the view to combat 'IRA terrorism', it could be applied to any criminal proceeding.
Here in the USA we have jurors who are contaminated by the media to serve the state's interest. It must be the fear over losing (beat that dead horse!) cushy jobs, nice homes, SUV's, retirement porfolios, vacations, entertainment systems, etc.
People in the West are possessed by their possessions: cushy F~ jobs, beautiful F~ homes, big F~ SUV's, plump F~ 401k's, humongous F~ entertainment systems, wonderful F~ vacations. The tyrants here have learned how to imprison people in their freedom via the people's possessions. How these tremble (shaking of the hands): "Oh! Oh! Oh! Don't show us that!

With human nature what it is (Godwin's Law now disabled), a monolingual humanity would be extremely dangerous. Herr Wasserfarben had only telephone, telegraph, radio and Hollerith machines.

Techological progress gives only the illusion that human nature is inherently good.
First the cellphones of the poor must be deactivated with the remaining payphones, household landlines and internet service. Denial of communication is a must for mass disappearances.

With the removal of the 'human waste' these properties will be converted into more 'luxury condos' or 'cultural attractions' for the oligarkhy.

One need to be careful of dismissing sovereignty with even the slightest prejudice. Sovereighty is the reason people can write things critical of other regimes and be protected from those regimes. If not, thugs from overseas could just waltz into the lands of such authors and dispatch the same. For every author critical of some policy somewhere there is at least one thug looking to silence the same.
Once the world police had accomplished that mission, there will be a need for a new enemy. Human behavior can be changed but not human nature. Who will that new enemy be? More likely than not it will be Christians and Jews. When their sacred things are caricatured, there are no bloody protests or war cries in the streets. These are the people that gave mankind a wound on the body called circumcision and a wound on the the soul called conscience. Conscience is a tax on any economy and such is counterproductive in a prospering global society. Only when these are eliminated shall there be world peace. [wink-wink]
Xenophobia is the what the politically correct call the natural instinct of self-preservation.
Before you think that in the realm of privacy Canada is what the USA was (pre US v.

Keep in mind that if you start using a lot of electrical power than usual (say by running a Beowulf Cluster at home), the RCMP/GRC will come knocking on your door looking for household cannabis farming.

Anyone with any sense knows that the second clause nullifies the first.
If they want to combat terrorism, the solution is simple. Eliminate cash and chip people. Show papers to buy bread.

There is no need to do that. Fear of losing the fruits of their hard work will keep them in line.
