Just read this pretty interesting / explosive article about a Chinese program called "Golden Shield". Piloting in the special economic zone of Shenzhen, the program aims to create a total monitoring and government surveillance network.
Linking together biometric scanning, face-recognition software, and a citywide network of high definition cameras, the governemnt is trying to tie together all the data to monitor and protect its citizens.
Its a long read, but well worth it.....especially since it features cameos by good American firms like General Electric, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Cisco, and google.
check it out.....Rolling Stone link
