"Video surveillance has doubled in the last five years, and will likely more than double again by 2010," says a recent report by the American Civil Liberties Union. The report, entitled "Under the Watchful Eye," says video surveillance by itself is a big enough threat to our privacy. But that threat is multiplied when combined with emerging technologies, such as face recognition software, and expanding database access by law enforcement agencies.

"I think the biggest threat," says Michael Soller, spokesman at the ACLU of Southern California, "comes from the collision of government surveillance and private surveillance, in terms of databases, and in terms of American's willingness to hand over their private information, and be subjected to government surveillance cameras."

The United States' Real ID Act

Plans for super databases are well underway. Take the United States' Real ID Act, passed in 2005, which calls for a de facto national ID card, including digital photos, which would be issued by state DMVs, bringing the nation a hair's breadth away from a mega database interconnecting all 50 states. Several states have challenged the act, and the Senate recently rejected funding, but the Department of Homeland Security is still fighting for its implementation.
