A question for you Britons here.......

They're only in public areas where people can see you anyway. So I don't see it as any kind of breach of privacy.

In any case, it actually provides more of an illusion of safety, which I suppose is a good thing.

BTW if anyone see's a flashdrive with "Glyn" written on in sparkly stars, let me know

Yes, thank you.
I think it'd be a massive step, and need a massive amount of legislation before that could happen. But if it did, my opinon on camera's would change.

I'll keep an eye out for it, did you retrace your steps?

Yeah, though I've been on a train, a bus and a taxi so all the usual places to leave flash drives. Maybe I lost it when I bumped into that tanned, bearded fellow :S

Frankly you soon forget about them, I also doubt a lot of them work. We just aren't that efficient.

Wait a minute, doesn't the major religion of the US have as a feature a sex obsessed, all powerful deity constantly watching you at all times?

^^^ This is a winning statement and just to add that the only time people are really concerned about security cameras is when they're doing something they shouldn't be
