My prediction, and sincere (albeit somewhat "tragic") hope, is that at the
end of the day they will be so cheap, small, powerful and widespread that
nobody can prevent their generalised use *no matter what the justification
for doing that might be*.

Heck, law enforcement is a failure enough today in controlling the moving
and using of *tons* of marijuana... :-)

So: both good and bad secrecy/privacy are likely IMHO to go down the drain,
and we had better be prepared to that.

There again, the scenario of *Other Days, Other Eye*s, and of *The Light of
Other Days* comes to mind.
