Telecom eavesdropping isn't the only thing the government is doing. There are over a dozen government agencies that uses undercover and plainclothes agents to spy on civilians. They blend into a crowd, they loiter around, they're masters of spying that you wouldn't even notice anything out of the ordinary, they're inconspicuous enough to pull tricks like going from a car to a bike instantly, and they infiltrate groups and factions-political, environmental, whatever. They're like the secret police.

That's how Big Brother can stay one step ahead. And the agents they use can be anyone, anywhere. It can be the average Joe of a man, someone you know and trust, a kid, or an attractive woman. Theoretically, someone could be watching us here since this place is like an expose and railings of the government and industry's dirty secrets.

In espionage, spy agents even way back would use counterintelligence tactics to keep their communications between each other secure from buggings and surveilance. One of them is a cipher, make a secret code only they and whoever they want to talk to knows.

Recently heard from the mouth of Sean Hannity of FoxNews, talking to former governor Jesse Ventura, defending the survelance policy of the government: "Well, they don't eavesdrop on innocent civilians like you and me. Do you think they would read your email?" To which Jesse replied, "When I was governor of Minnesota, my phones were bugged the entire time." Sean had no reply.

“Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed." -Chuck Palahniuk
