Prying eyes are everywhere, from pesky younger siblings to the Patriot Act. What steps do you take to protect your privacy, on or offline?

Like most people, I use the incredible power of not doing anything worth invading my privacy for. It's dumb, but I don't really worry about people invading my privacy most of the time.

I know, I know. Regulation on a lot of those points would be a good thing - your income shouldn't affect your insurance premiums (http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2008/05/two-scams-both.html), for example - but I'm usually so overwhelmed when I try to think about things that I fold and do nothing.

Yeah, I shouldn't, and I should support efforts of those concerned with privacy, but I've not got enough hours in a day already.

I understand. We (and by we, I mean you and me both) won't act until it reaches a crisis level or something really game-defining. And then we will act in the interest of convenience over freedom. Minority Report, for example. :L Ah well, here's to it not happening in our lifetimes. *clink* *drinks*
