hmmm, knowing that it's being done surreptitiously, (while i still don't like it), - isn't quite as bad as making a public show of taking a mugshot.
either way i don't like it.
and thanks for that info Cap'n; that's just one more reason for me to dislike, and continue to not choose, cruise vacations.
it's the principle of the thing for me - Big Brother monitoring me, especially while on personal time on holiday - just does not sit well with me in any way, shape, or form.
And although i dislike it, i can understand it as, say for example, a condition of employment -- because they are paying me to be there they therefore have a right to know about and monitor who is on company property.
But on personal time, treating the majority of decent people like criminals because of the bad actions of a few, is just wrong and insulting - no matter HOW ya slice it.
