I think it's more to the fact that when you realise you're being
watched, alot of people behave differently.  

Like when you first take your driving test, before the test and stuff
when you're practising with your parental unit / driving instructor,
you're usally quite confident and relaxed, but the instant you sit in
the car with the examiner, you notice something different.  you can't
tell what it is, but it causes you to notice everything that you're
doing and you act differently.  

People should be able to walk down the road without having this feeling.
Sure, advocates might say that once you get use to it, it shouldn't be 
a problem anymore (it's worth it), but they're reasons our bodies don't
like certain things (ie, heights, the dark, a piece of metal pierced
through your tongue :) ).  

just some thoughts anyway



Jerrold.
disc. i neither support, or am against privacy.  most solutions to
problems are usually a combination of the two opposing sides, and until
this becomes aparent, I'll be happly sitting on the fence :)
