Gives me a warm feeling. Those cameras are used to catch shoplifters - who raise the price of products for the 99.9% of us who don't.

This is what seems to get most people going. I figure, if I go to work every day (where we are constantly electronically monitored), mind my own business, what me worry? I guess I just don't see how any kind of digital survellience should worry law-abiding citizens. Just my opinion.
