Hey John, I love that we are in the same threads on HN so much :-D
> I'm not sure what you mean here, though. People who object to ubiquitous surveillance don't seem absurd to most (even those who aren't so upset about it), and they certainly aren't changing their position.
Yeah good question/clarification, I'm referring to the CCTV cameras in the bank itself (such as in the vault, in the lobby, etc).

Ahh, I see what you mean. I do know people who hate even those cameras, but they do also understand why they're there and just silently put up with them while minimizing the amount of time they spend on-premises.
I think there's a bit of a difference, though. If I'm in a bank branch, it's effectively "their house, their rules", so CCTV cameras don't offend me there.
But if the bank required me to be searched when entering the place, I'd be strongly offended by that. To me, WEI is more like being frisked than being surveilled (although neither analogy is great).
