from paul joseph watson: The Department of Homeland Security is pursuing the introduction of a device known as the Security Bracelet, a wearable tag that would allow authorities to inflict pain compliance on suspects from a distance, while also recommending law enforcement applications and potential use in "crowd control situations".

Opponents have raised concerns about privacy and intrusiveness, as well as cost.'the suspect society'
from cbc radio: The Surveillance Society. The New Authoritarianism. The Age of Paranoid Politics. These are just a few of the ways writers and thinkers describe the age we’re now living in. The signs of anxiety and fear in this post 9/11 era are all around us. School lock-downs are called the new fire-drill. But what are we to make of all of this? We know that video cameras can, in specific situations, help solve crimes but must everybody be watched all the time? And what’s at stake?listen to 'the suspect society' part1 & part2
