Proactive Idea: To far or worth it?

[HelioPrime]

So another thread brought up an idea. In the show the X-Files they addressed once the presence of bibles in hotel room. In the show the government had hidden recorders in every bible, available to big brother to hunt down people on the run.

So what if Homeland security decided to announce it would begin to require all hotels to have listening or other devices to observe guests. Now not everyone would be observed, but the units would function as a tool that could be activated if say there was a need, say a manhunt or watch for suspicious individuals.

Not a hotel isn't a personal property of an individual, if the chain owners decided to comply with the Fed and allow this it would become a feature of every hotel.

So would you still travel knowing this? Or would you go out of your way to avoid this? Or would you try and stop it, even if the government promised to provide control of units to local police forces and give use only under circumstances involving an investigation?

Well let me addon: If it was offered to hotels: Add homeland security to all rooms for a tax break and most major chains complied. Would you call that invasion of privacy and illegal, or just avoid the hotels? Or allow it?

[Suburbanite]

I think it should be, if it isn't, illegal of course, but I'm one of the rare few who seems to care about his rights these days.

Hmmm, they have an inept Federal government on X-Files to?


I'd rather just have the Feds doing their jobs to keep these people out of the country.


Eh, I suppose that's a little unrealistic, isn't it.


I don't like the idea, but I suspect that type of behavior is not far off if it's not happening already. I mean, it's not like they would tell us until they had exploited the recource for all it was worth.

Well it's a good thing I mark a pentagram in red lipstick on the front covers of the bibles I see in my hotel rooms and set it outside on fire as the leather crackles and screams as the souls are sucked into hell.... MOOO HOOO HAW HAW HAW HAW!!!!!

But no, that would just make people mistrust Christianity even more, as the government would be using something you're supposed to trust and have faith in, in spying on you......

Someone should fry in hell if that plan is implimented. Using the Bible as a National Security Tool? Seriously now?

Puff puff pass.

[B1NKS]

This whole thread is some kind of joke, right?

[Milton Bradley]

I know, microphones, in the coins, yeah, that's the ticket.

[HelioPrime]

Well as the it was suggested how would we know?

[Winter wind]

Sounds like Beijing.
I spent a year their, my family didn't know there was a camera set up in our kitchen until they removed it around nine months into our stay.

But maybe it isn't horrible, just as long as they are very careful about who gets the information and how they use it. But until they can prove the information will not be misused, this should not even be considered.

Oh what you mean these?



The ones which the US government freaked out about thinking US Officials were being tracked by Canadian Operatives..... when eventually they realized they were just parts of your normal change you get when you get your coffee? *Snickers*

I was wondering if anybody caught that attempt at humor.


No charge, as always.
