Stunning. Apple has built a surveillance system that no government in the world could ever afford. Despots, dictators and duly elected presidents around the world are rejoicing at how cheap and easy it is to keep tabs on your political enemies, opposition leaders and those meddlesome human rights campaigners. Put a small tag on their cars, their briefcases, their kids' lunchboxes and just watch where the little tags go. Got a secret meeting with your fellow revolutionaries? Better hope nobody with an iPhone passed nearby on the trip to, from and during the meeting.
