That's all and well.

But it doesn't sit right with me that people are snooping in on my phone calls or my Internet experience.

It is as if the post office were to open my envelopes and read my letters to family and friends.

The immunity provision has NOTHING to do with the parts of the Bill that affect spying going forward. Your concerns about spying were addressed in the FISA bill. There will be oversight.

The immunity part of the bill is all about punishing those who merely followed a government request to help catch terrorists in the making. For that they should be thanked, and not punished.
As long as there is proper over site I am not really concerned.

What makes you think there's going to be oversight? There hasn't been any oversight up until now, and the democrat leadership has now decided that the illegal activities of both the telcos and the administration should be swept under the rug.

There isn't proper oversight in this bill. The provisions for "oversight" have no teeth.

To be honest I can't know for sure if there is any oversight even though they say there is.

So I am not going to worry about something at this point I have no control over.
