There was a short story in Analog (I think) about ten years ago, title
something like "Little Brother is Watching You", where the best antidote
to government surveillance is citizen surveillance- it kinda predicted
webcams.
Nuts, analogsf.com's back issue search engine doesn't show anything like
the story I recall- oh, well, I'll just have to ask in alt.callahans-
*somebody* there will have a copy of it, too.
