IAN: But then you might be able to see under the cloths of
government officials, and only the govt has a right to privacy.

Your question raises deeper issues regarding ethics, technology
advancement, and individual power vs governmental tyranny.

The problem is not technology, it is the system of ethics that
exists in the minds of those who employ technology. This being
the case, a rock in hand is as "bad" as a new high-tech device.
