Nah I have a mobile phone so if a gov wants to it can. It's (a) unneeded
complexity (b) it's then limited & as time goes by you'll get 5mp
digicams for USD20 so...

e.g. you could have a laptop with a built in printer. But you don't.

(c) is making sure no silly sod from Ukraine who does get in can do
anything other than listen. I don't leave a microphone plugged into any
machine which hasn't got one built in.
