There is no such thing as "good faith attempts to balance".

# If you live in a big city you will find that there is an interesting
# proliferation of cameras pointed at the freeway. Do you know what they
# are, what they can do, and what is their potential for abuse?
#
# The System is called the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and you
# may find it everywhere on the net. The cameras are linked to a city
# control room, who are supposed to use them to improve traffic flow. The
# cameras are "uplinked" to the net, to satellites, and I suppose to the
# United States Transportation Command at Scott AFB or some other
# centralized information storage base. Software is being harmonized so that
# on the net you may find many countries adopting a GLOBAL ITS. The toys
# being developed by the various planners including MIT will be able to
# track your travel, monitor your vehicle emissions, determine if you have
# been drinking, and even issue you speeding tickets by mail! "Smart" cards
# may be used to automatically track individual people and deduct tolls or

We have slowly reached a state of McCarthyism against any elected
official who shows ANY "SIGNS OF SOFTNESS" in the War against Crime.

The constant state of War against imaginary enemies must end.

By imaginary, I mean crime was going down the whole War time.

All we are saying, is give peace a chance.

I repeat: Civil war would have broken out.

Dire suspension of Constitutional protections happens during War:

Abraham Lincoln ordered thousands of people detained without hearings,
and opposition newspapers shut down during the Civil War. During
World War II: the president orders Japanese and such to be held in
internment camps.

So why do we have all these loss of freedoms during peacetime?

Answer:

Because the Military has never stopped fighting World War II.

# "Spy Agencies Faulted for War Focus"
# By Tim Wiener, The New York Times, June 28, 1996
#
# American intelligence agencies devote too much time and money to supporting
# the Military, and FAR too little to understanding the problems of peace, a
# new and authoritative critique concludes.
#
# The report is one of FOUR MAJOR STUDIES to cite the "alarming imbalance"
# of spending more than $26 billion a year on machines, and less than $3
# billion on people, and those people spend their time analyzing the
# information the machines collect.
#
# The Foreign Service has been crippled by budget cuts, sapped by the
# Militarization of intelligence. Diplomats, not spies, should be doing
# analysis of events in peaceful places.
#
# The report, by 19 people from the worlds of espionage, diplomacy, the
# Military, academia and business, says American intelligence "still has
# not yet come in from the cold" and is "ill-prepared for the 21st Century."

*
* It mentions nothing about fingerprints, computers or barcodes. Where does
* anyone use a "counterfeit driver's license"? If Driver's Licenses were what
* they are claimed to be (to "protect" us from unsafe drivers), instead of
