Yesterday I walked from Cambodia into Thailand. On the way out of Cambodia, I was fingerprinted; on the way into Thailand, I was photographed. While I waited for the train to Bangkok I read legendary hacker Jamie Zawinski's tale of how the powers that be "wanted to mandate that I surveil all of my customers, and turn that information over to the Government without a warrant" in exchange for getting a liquor license.He goes on: "this is a standard condition that SFPD is putting on all new liquor licenses! ...when the people and their elected lawmakers unambiguously say 'no' on a civil liberties issue, the unelected SFPD and ABC career bureaucrats think they can force a 'yes' anyway. It's disgusting."
