Lee Tien Government Quotations

What's offensive to me is that you have the government selling Registered Traveler on the basis that we will get you through security lines faster, when they created the inconvenience on dubious grounds in the first place.

Even worse, it shows how the government and private industry make backroom deals to weaken our privacy by compromising everyday equipment like printers. The logical next question is: what other deals have been or are being made to ensure that our technology rats on us?

It's simply a very bad idea for privacy and for free speech for the government to design any technology, much less the Internet, to be surveillance-friendly.

This enables the government to have a much easier time of knowing what private people are up to without any sort of process or consent.
