Then peeping toms are okay right? We have laws for a reason, trying to sift through thousands of peoples e-mails, phone calls, text messages is not going to garnish a damn thing. This is just flat out lazy *** police work.
Cops are not allowed to enter your home for no reason right? They are not allowed to read your snail mail on a whim right?
Its a ****ing joke when enemy combatants have constitutional rights where full blooded American like myself does not even have an expectation of privacy any more.
We have laws for a reason, when we make dramatic changes to our daily lives then they win. That is the whole goal of Terrorism. It is to instill fear and make us abandon the very things we believe in, abandon those things that people have fought and some times died for.
I am just tired of this "if you are not doing any thing wrong then you have nothing to worry about" argument. This kind of thinking is what enables police to enter your home because someone thought you where maybe doing something illegal at some point in the distant past. It leads to people being detained because they maybe talked to someone that did something bad. I am really glad that the House and Senate really stepped up to the plate on this one! Great work guys, we can all sleep better at night know that we are getting bent over, for our protection mind you!!!!
