How strange. How smarmy. It reminds me of a weird TV show I saw late one night, where the TV dick trails a cheating spouse, then
sets up a confrontation, allowing the wronged party to catch cheating spouse in the act and create a really public scene, which TV dick is only too happy to televise.

I guess the point of "did they read it" is to catch people lying to you. I can see the appeal, I guess, but it doesn't seem like a happy way to live.

As far as the technology, well, Big Brother is already watching us...
