Mini-Sensors for "Military Omniscience"

From BoingBoing:

Mini-Sensors for "Military Omniscience": "Xeni Jardin: Defensetech's Noah Shachtman says, Spotting insurgents, sorting out friend from foe -- it's beyond tough in today's guerilla war zones. So tough, that no single monitor can be counted on to handle the job. The Pentagon's answer: build a set of palm-sized, networked sensors that can be scattered around, and work together to 'detect, classify, localize, and track dismounted combatants under foliage and in urban environments.' It's part of a larger Defense Department effort to establish 'military omniscience' -- and 'ubiquitous monitoring.' Link to blog post with photos. "

Doesn't this effectively negate the idea:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

I guess I had a hold out that revolution against a repressive governement was still possible via Guerilla warfare. If technologies such as these negate that possibility, why reason does the government have to fear its people?
