Anonymity Is A Tool For Evil and Terror

I read a pretty good article over on wired.com today regarding a project by kaos.theory security research to keep your computer anonymous and secure by using a bootable disk called Anonym.OS. Being an American I was thrilled to hear about this but when I began to think about the current state of affairs in our country and how willing the general population has been and continues to be when it comes to giving up their freedoms I saw the writing on the wall, so to speak.

With all the talk out of Washington these days about the importance of trampling over and ignoring our constitutional rights in the name of the war on terrorism it occurred to me that it is only a matter of time before it becomes a federal crime to be anonymous in the United States. After all, why would any innocent American want to be anonymous unless they had something to hide? By outlawing anonymity and creating a national ID card and citizen database the government would merely be protecting the general population. Keeping us all safe from evil and terror under a protective blanket of surveillance.

In addition to outlawing privacy and anonymity it might be a good idea to start restricting travel without prior approval from the government. It should be a rule that in order to travel a certain distance from your home you would need to have some form of official travel documents. My God, just think how many evildoers are roaming freely around our great nation right at this moment. A law-abiding American should embrace any law that restricts travel without prior government approval. It's all in the name of national security and public safety.

Wow, now that I have thought this through I realize that I was wrong to support any group trying to protect anonymity. It is not the American way, at least not in the future we are heading into.
