    circumventing those laws are easy if you make sure that you get the 'right' peopel elected.

    and the only people that can put safeguards on such tampering are hte very same folks that are profiting from it - the politicians/lawmakers

    This is anotehr reason i had a HUGE issue with a plot device of s9 see, i can get it back on topic

    the transponders. where the teams can be tracked anywhere and everywhere....can we even begin to go into what a HUGE violation of privacy that is???? can you honestly see sam or any of the others likeing this?

    or, if they were compelled, the scariness of a govt that does that?

    It's 1984. Only a few years later.

      we have those. on some intersections. and yes, monitor traffic flow

      i figure it's just a matter of time before they're used to track down some bad guys, then - once we get front license plates - are used to ticket traffic infractions. probably 10 years or so (we're the midwest, we're behind everyone )

        In my opinion it's just another invasion of your rights to see what your doing while at those stop lights. Now I have no problem with cameras being used at ATM's, banks, airports, ...,etc. But I do with these.
        Uhh, to catch people running red lights?

          Ooooh yeah...I second that!!

            Yeah, I didn't like that much when I heard that.

            It's good to beam them out in a jam, but it's too much of an invasion of privacy, IMO. And it hurts when they rip it out of you to keep others from finding you. (((Vala))) Oh geez...I never thought I'd hug Vala. Huh...oh well! (((Vala)))

              Well it's not an invasion of privacy if they've agreed to it. And considering they need the Asgard sensors to lock onto it?

                our information is only as safe as the companies make it.

                and how many of them give that contract to the lowest bidder

                and you are right, my opinion may be the worst case scenario...but as long as the general public doesn't question and wonder and 'keep them honest' it'll get harder and harder to have any privacy.

                every time 'we' hand over one of our privacy rights we have to look at the absolute worst case scenario. because if we don't, it's a matter of time before it happens.

                why do you think HIPPA got passed? (health information privacy protection act)....because insurance companies were already violating peopels' medical privacy. they just got caught and then the law was passed to keep it from continuing to happen

                  but it is analogous to those 'lost pet' sensors. anyone watch 'the unit' last week?
                  Spoiler:
                  they were going to tag prisoners with tracking beacons so that they could be monitored 24/7. and the tech is already there to tag animals/pets with a subcutanous tag that can be read by a sensor. and they're already talking aboout doing it to humans for medical reasons


                  the technology is there, it's just how we use it

                      No, it's also to catch Sam speeding by on her Indian.

                        Agent Dark, I tend to get a little passionate about things like this. Please forgive me.

                        But back on topic. Sam is a great character, six months is a long time to wait to see what happens with her.

                          Yeah...but you gotta wonder how much of a choice they had in agreeing to it!

                              well, when it comes to the military...probably not much.
