Canada to spy on travelers' conversations at airports, borders (and
who knows where else?)
http://j.mp/M1QpU4 (The Star)
Ontario's privacy commissioner says she is appalled that Ottawa plans
to start eavesdropping on travellers' conversation at airports and
border crossings. Ann Cavoukian said while it is federal jurisdiction
she is no less taken aback that the Canada Border Services Agency
(CBSA) is installing high-definition cameras and microphones with
eventual plans to record what people are saying as they pass through
certain areas of international airports and land crossings.

Looks like Canada is on the path to make TSA look good by comparison.
