What, then, is an unreasonable way to police? Is it okay with you that many of these flights have infrared and other technology that lets agents of the state monitor and listen to you in your own home, in addition to ubiquitous tracking? If the enforcement of law is all that matters, why stop at 24/7 surveillance of all people, all the time? Without freedom and privacy, what good is the law? If physical safety is your only concern surely we'd all be more safe if we were locked in our own individual cells, all the time.

I have no problem with surveillance if it stops crime. Private surveillance cameras are already pretty much everywhere and no one seems to mind. My ideal form of surveillance would be passive though. The data would be recorded, but no human would have access to it without something like a search warrant. And everything would be deleted after a week. Just like with private surveillance cameras.
