Re: Government to monitor Internet Use

Or the security in place prevented a major incident....

That's like saying you don't need a burglar alarm, window locks, or strong locks on the doors of your house, because you have never had a burglary (even thought the burglar alarm, window locks, and strong door locks deterred/prevented the burglar....).

Anyhoo, the Daily Mash's take on it is quite amusing, imho.

Civil rights campaigner Nikki Hollis said: "On the one hand, it's deeply worrying that the government is seeking to create a surveillance culture that encompasses spying on all digital media.

"On the other, that same government would struggle to arrange a children's party if provided with a clown, a bouncy castle, some children and an unlimited supply of jelly.

"So it's hard to say whether we should be worried or mildly amused."
