But on the other hand, most of us aren't terrorists so we might as well go along with it? On a similar 'Big Brother' note, when I was in Tokyo I purchased a bought a Suica card and the machine gave me the option to type my name in to be printed on the card... It wasn't until afterwards I wondered if maybe my name was now sitting on the JR computer system, and that every train journey I took was being recorded and monitored. But as I said before, I had nothing to hide. I was an innocent tourist so as far as I was concerned they could monitor me all they wanted.
