Schneier on Security: Shoot-to-Kill Revisited<\/a><\/p>\n

This sort of thing is becoming increasingly worrisome. <\/p>\n

As an example, the other day, while in a store, I was wandering around, bored, and with a sore back (Amanda was doing some shopping). Being the attentive person that I am, I noticed that I had begun to attract a lot of attention from some big & burly employees – i.e. security-type people. Never mind that I had just put a free information pamphlet into my Megatokyo bag<\/a>. Seriously, though, my actions were apparently “suspicious” looking, and that caught the attention of the (presumably) alert employees. And then I caught myself thinking “oh I shouldn’t act like that, I don’t want to get in trouble.<\/em>” <\/p>\n

Fast forward a bit now, and realize that you have to have that mentality in public now, as well. You must now constantly “police” yourself, so as not to appear “suspicious,” or you’ll be shot dead.<\/p>\n

This is NOT how it’s supposed to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
