Ask the Middle Eastern man with a beard who gets treated like Maher Arar at the border about his thoughts on privacy. And government infringement is only getting worse. The International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group (ICLMG)\u00a0<a style=\"font-style: inherit;color: black\" href=\"http:\/\/www.travelwatchlist.ca\/updir\/travelwatchlist\/ICLMG_Watchlists_Report.pdf\" target=\"\">issued a report<\/a>\u00a0that describes how the more than 17 border control programs now in place are disproportionately aimed at certain ethnic groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">From a social justice perspective, we should care that fellow Canadians are being targeted. But there\u2019s also a more selfish reason. As government spying becomes more sinister, privilege is not a get-out-of-surveillance-free card. The \u201cI-have-nothing-to-fear\u201d defence should be qualified with \u201cuntil I don\u2019t.\u201d Government has a nasty habit of extending its reach over time.
