Warning over surveillance society

Ananova:

The UK is becoming a "surveillance society" where technology is used to track people's lives, a report has warned.

CCTV, analysis of buying habits and recording travel movements are among the techniques already used, and the Report on the Surveillance Society predicts surveillance will further increase over the next decade.

Information Commissioner Richard Thomas - who commissioned the report - warned that excessive surveillance could create a "climate of suspicion".

Current techniques include surveillance of international travel, consumer spending, internet use and mobile phones.
