Panopticism in Modern Society

Panopticism exists within the modern world through a variety of surveillance processes such as CCTV, body scanners and numerous other identifying cards etc.

"Through a variety of measures such as closed circuit television, body scanners and numerous methods of identification we could be easily located and detected if the need was there. The government promotes theses processes as to be of benefit to us and for the sole purpose of maintaining our personal security, which could well be truthful, but at what stage will there be a cut-off point? When do these panoptic ways start to become an invasion of our privacy?"

I found this quote on a website and saved it in a blog post but without a link, so I don't know where it came from, however, it is relevant to my subject.  Highlighting how strong the public view on how we currently deal with such aspects of society and the community at hand.

Identification cards for everywhere, we even use an identity card which we can to enter/leave the premises, which inevitably logs our comings and goings. Arguably for safety reasons, but it still is a bit invasive, let alone other means that exist out of the establishment as part of everyday society.
