Too many CAMERAS not enough Food Life inside the North Korean bubbleby Sue Lloyd-RobertsBBC Newsnight, North KoreaAs we arrived at Pyongyang's airport our mobile phones were confiscated and throughout our stay in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea there was no access to the internet.At the hotel our government minders had booked rooms alongside ours, and on the one occasion that we tried to leave without them we were reported and reprimanded.From exchanges with our minders, we also learned that our rooms were bugged. But then we were not being singled out, the entire country lives in a bubble of unreality, cut off from the outside world and watched by an army of informershttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/8701959...

North Korea must be taking its cues from us Next thing you know they will do is enact a Patriot Act so it becomes legal to spy on its citizens.Don

Fortunately Not... While our liberties have been infringed and privacy is becoming harder to come by, it's nothing like the repressive situation in a totalitarian state like North Korea. There's a paranoia that their myths will be destroyed by information and the only way they can stay in power is to invade every aspect of life. It truly is a surreal world...a remnant of the "Soviet system" that hangs on against the tide of change.

I was only focusing on surveillance, which is more advanced here. we likely have a better availability of food and cameras that film the public. I bet some Federal Agency or another monitors EVERY store/ parking lot in the USA. Certainly, there are more secret cameras in America than we care to think about.
