Lead-in: It use to be said that freedom of the press belongs to those who own presses. The Internet has made everyone a publisher
and its revolutionizing journalism. Breakthroughs in manufacture through 3D printing may soon enable making
firearms without visiting a gun shop or being a machinist.

Lead-in: In 2003 the DARPA-funded Total Information Awareness project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Awareness_Office), a mass surveilence system, was defunded by Congress and its leader, former National Security Advisor, John Poindexter fired when it was acknowledged that members of Congress might, indirectly, be targets of the system. Now Microsoft
is helping New York City create an equally massive, citywide, surveilence system that could monitor anyone.
{Play Kelly excerp clip} smuggler, is it a paparazzi's wet dream? Will it reduce crime and eliminate terrorism in NYC? Will there be a backlash?

Lead-in: Australian federal police and customs are beating their chests over the recent arrest of a man they say bought
illegal drugs using Bitcoin on the Tor-hosted Silk Road service. Did they trace Bitcoin payment, Was it a Silk Road technical nafu, or poor buy-seller tradecraft? Plato, what ur take? -

Lead-in: It now widely assumed that all popular IM an voice chat services, many of which promoted privacy, are all open to
monitoring by the service and law enforcement. Skype, which for years indirectly maintained it could not eavesdrop, is
now being conspicuouly evasive.
VooDoo, if you're a curent Skype user or user of another service, and aren't pleased with their treatment of your
privacy what can you do?
