Yeah you're right, I just think Tony is not cut and dry Pro anything really. He shifts his views to what he needs. The way Hill was talking, the security thing sounded like a way to get what they need and nothing more. This show has really turned a corner now with the way it's weaving things.Well, he wouldn't get forced into it, but given the comments about him privatizing world security, it kinda sounds like he's going very pro-regulation. And you can bet that Tony's version of world security would probably make the NSA's attempts look like the Keystone Cops by comparison.
I can see him not having a problem with excessive surveillance. I mean, he has no sense of personal privacy, either for himself or anyone else... which is a current very pro-government stance.
