Spies R Us - In the movies, James Bond always has the coolest gadgets (thanks to Q). One wonders where spies got this technological cachet, since they work for the government, after all. The Washington Post reminds us that, in real life, law enforcement and other government departments don't have the computing power of your typical WalMart. My libertarian friends would cringe, but I just don't see why having the government pry into your personal life is really any worse than letting your credit card company do it. It's not like we have real privacy anyway. We gladly barter it away to gain über-consumerist powers, why not for physical security too?
