quite vindicated when i discovered oscaraustin noticed as well that the protesters in town for the world bank / imf conference et al who were deported were traced via their cellphone signals.
remember these aren't local handphones. which means they were on the watchlist even before they arrived. i would have expected such scrupulous security for suspected terrorists, but activists?
remember also they hadn't done anything yet. they were disbarred based on what it was assumed they would do. 'precrime', in the words of philip k dick. four million smiles only for those with agreeable intent.

But if it's inevitable that the criminals will commit the crime, then is it necessarily bad to arrest them before they do harm to the innocent? Just wondering.
So the point being that if you even think about the crime that makes you so guilty that society deems it within it's right to "remove" you.
Actually it was more the manner in which these "criminals" were tracked to their exact locations that was of concern.
