As far as i'm concerned thats not the only problem there is in the privacy
issue.

Privacy is something very personal. I think the biggest problem with having
cameras everywhere would be with the most immideate family. How would you
like your wife, mother, mother in-law, lover, mistress... to be able to se
how you behaved at the last party you where at. Did you dance a little to
close to someone, did you talk about things a little to personal. Did you
perhaps even kiss someone in drunken happines?

The party setup is just one example.

But these are things that are not big issues on a national basis. But in
your private life they can have major implications. They could make it
impossible to live a normal life, if everybody could watch everybody
anytime..
