AN END TO PRIVACY

The Economist's sharp, tight cover story this week predicts a further
erosion of privacy for the simple and persuasive reason that people don't
really want it, despite saying they do. At every step, law-abiding citizens
-- most people, that is -- would rather have the convenience, security or
extra money that comes with giving up a little information about
themselves. For the same reason, laws trying vainly to protect privacy will
fail, the article states.
