Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security, and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillance

Just a hunch, but my guess is many folks who pay attention to this forum would find it interesting.  I haven't read it yet, but will in the next few weeks.

Had just marked that on my to read list.

A recent issue of "The Week" magazine talked about the author and the book.  Sounds like it is worth reading for the privacy tips.
