two year old sat data is good for fun, but it's not all that scary to me. I'm not to worried about it.

The government has real time spy data on virtually anything they want to already so it's not that big a deal really.

I'm not impressed with anything the internet does anymore, until I can push a button on my keyboard and have whiskey on ice materialize right in front of me Star Trek style.

Also I don't want to have to pay for it.

The creepy part is, this is the technology the government was using 30 years ago.

I saw a news report on this yesterday. Apparently, what they're doing is completely legal, because they don't take pictures of anything you couldn't see walking down the street.
