I fly at least two times a week, three weeks out of the month and I have never been stripped searched. The bank activity, thats true... The govt. also data mines Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, 4chan, reddit, and every other social media outlet on earth. Every message anyone has ever publicly posted is archived with the good old USG. Public video cameras regularly run facial detection software. If one thinks that mobile carriers turning over meta-data is as bad as it gets, they're sadly mistaken.
I doubt this country of ours will ever turn communist but I would not rule out the possibility of it turning fascist. We already get stripped searched in airports, our bank account activity is monitored, and now this.
