But after reading this account and countless others, reading the observations of others, and generally trying to have an ear to the ground, I have strong convictions that we as a country and a global community are but a few generations away from a society incredibly similar to the one set forth in the movie Brazil. I don’t mean this as hyperbole in any sense of the word. I truly believe that we’re quickly and unchangeably heading in the direction where posters like “Suspicion Breeds Confidence”, “Trust in Haste, Regret at Leisure”, and “Don’t Suspect a Friend, Report Him” will be commonly seen. Heck, posters like this are already appearing.

The full range of adverts is designed to install fear of everything and everybody. It’s almost like the Daily Mail itself designed the campaign!

Please tell you are not serious. A background check for the right to use a bloody <i>camera</i>??

How far have we fallen that someone would even suggest requiring a security check to take a picture.

Thanks for bringing attention to this. Terrorists also take notes! Be suspicious of odd-looking people with notebooks, or cameras, or just eyes - you know the types, shifty-looking, brown skin, that sort of thing.
