I also like that David brought up the TSA pat-down issue - there is an example where people seem to have reached a limit in terms of tolerance, and have begun a process of pushback. it is interesting to note how many of these privacy issues are closely embedded with technology.<br /><br />Clever title, indeed.Sarah.

The term "Orwellian" gets thrown around a lot in critiques of government, the "newspeak" of politicians and so forth, but I think Huxley's vision is much more powerfully descriptive of our present condition.<br /><br />By the way, nice title for your blog post. I'm assuming you are playing off the present controversy surrounding the TSA? If so, you may find this to be humorous:<br />http://www.boingboing.net/2010/11/16/tsa-tee-we-get-to-to.htmlDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652824085802653117noreply@blogger.com
