ORIGINAL: Phydeaux quote:
ORIGINAL: Edwynn What Hoover did in the day he (understandably) kept as secret as possible. Now we have created a new cabinet department with a huge budget for use of the same techniques, if not quite for same purpose of personal agenda. If the NSA ever even sought a warrant for what they have been doing from the start, I'd like to see it. (likewise Interpol, MI6, Mossad, KGB, etc.) If Google and MS Explorer and Facebook and Experian and TransUnion and Equifax ever sought a warrant for doing what they've been doing from the start, I'd like to see it. For some reason, it doesn't come as surprise here that some of those who derided those for having concerns about private airport mentally-minimal security contractor personnel strip-searching and feeling up granny now all of a sudden come out of the woodwork to express their righteous indignation! when this same granny has her phone convo listened in on by public security professionals, who apparently unbeknownst to them, have been at it for decades, all with out laying one finger on granny. And she kept her clothes on in any case. This just isn't the same world anymore. I have consistently thought both needed to be addressed Edwynn. There is a great quote, but I don't remember the attribution that goes something like "Any government that is big enough to guarantee your safety is also powerful enough to take it. This is one of many reasons I am for small government. Generally attributed to Jefferson
