The Internet Is A Surveillance State -- Bruce Schneier, Special to CNN

One: Some of the Chinese military hackers who were implicated in a broad set of attacks against the U.S. government and corporations were identified because they accessed Facebook from the same network infrastructure they used to carry out their attacks.

Two: Hector Monsegur, one of the leaders of the LulzSac hacker movement, was identified and arrested last year by the FBI. Although he practiced good computer security and used an anonymous relay service to protect his identity, he slipped up.

And three: Paula Broadwell,who had an affair with CIA director David Petraeus, similarly took extensive precautions to hide her identity. She never logged in to her anonymous e-mail service from her home network. Instead, she used hotel and other public networks when she e-mailed him. The FBI correlated hotel registration data from several different hotels -- and hers was the common name.

My Comment: Yup .... if you are on the internet grid .... you will always be under surveillance. George Orwell's 1984 is nothing when compared to where we are heading now.

Surveillance of personal information is a bilp on the radar compared to international computer espionage.
The first real computer war-like strike happened against an enemy last year...Iran.
It could have been the other way around.
China is the largest spy/hacker ring in the world. Currently they are passive aggressive, just using the access to steal technology and inside information.
I have zero doubt they already have the capabilities to take out satelites and power grids.
It would be 1913 overnight.
If I wanted to take down America, it wouldn't be with conventional weapons....can't win that.
The greatest national threat is our reliance on technology and the internet.
