Government Oversight? lol
Any time a government agency had taken something under it's wing to make sure rights were being protected, it had fallen through the cracks. Politicians are notorious for deciding to monitor an aspect of business, or personal lives, and then forgetting why they did it. After a couple years, there is this government agency with broad, sweeping powers, trying to justify itself before a congessional committee, headed by the politician that called for the beurocracy in the first place

The agents in the field will be paid just more than minimum wage to do a job that most real techs wouldnt touch for less that 70k/yr. Add to this the stress of having some beurocrat breathing down their neck to do something that their liberal arts degree didn't show them how to do, just so they can report to politions, who dont know what's going on outside of DC...you have a recipe for bribery and inneptitude to a point where if any companies start acting like grocery chains (product placement), they can pay off the agent and no one will know

I'm scared of what the gov't will decide to watchdog next. I am hanging heavy curtians over my windows to keep them out of my bedroom, where I certianly dont want poloticians.
