You know what really sticks in my throat?

The fact that there's not really anywhere better to go.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Stop stealing my trademark

"Run! Get out while you can!" is my trademark. Get your own.

As for the original post, I fail to see the problem. No one's claiming this is some anti-terrorist scheme. It's to settle petty disputes between bitchy neighbours.

What are the secret service going to do with it? Identify protesters in Westminster by their voice, rather than with a camera? Uniquely identify passing cars by their engine noise? Listen to our conversations as we shout them across the street? Claim they've overheard a conversation between 2 Al-Qaeda operatives in the street and then declare martial law?

It's part of the great, British tradition of bitching at your local council.

Matthew Greet

But we must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig, cow after cow, village after village, army after army. And they call me an assassin. What do you call it when the assassins accuse the assassin? They lie. They lie and we must be merciful to those who lie.

that wooshing sound is the point flying over your head

the sheer idea of the local council/constabulary/mayor listening to my conversations in my own home would result in a local guy fawkes celebration involving fireworks tar and feathers.

They're already doing it.

They're just not telling you.

Tinfoil?

Maybe.
