Do you ride the bus? How do you feel about having your conversations recorded every day?

No, I don’t ride the bus. I do agree with you about it being a waste of money, though. Seems rather silly to pay for such a thing when it could be used for something more beneficial.

I couldn’t believe this was true but I checked and apparently it is. They are also installing video and listening equipment with wireless connectivity in lamposts across the USA. It seems ridiculous, and goes way beyond any necessary security measure.

Not that I’m some kind of maniac or something, but say I was a terrorist; I’d be careful how and where I plan my attacks. I think most terrorists, unfortunately, are a little more careful when it comes to bringing a plan to growth, and won’t carelessly talk about anything on the freakin’ bus. No, somehow this seems directed at the citizen for some reason, and frankly I don’t see the point at all. It’s indeed a big waste of cash.

Ha, ha; bring it on. There’s nothing more interesting or important for HS to do than listen in on my conversation, “Sit down JJ. Get your mouth of the filthy rail. Use a tissue when you sneeze. Mr X, stop kicking the seat in front of us, Look out the window, see the dog”.
