Twaddle @sbcglobal.net	Hello FBI, CIA NSA et al None of you need my SMS, email or facebook Twitter etc. data so knock it off. It's bad enough that your TSA henchmen practically make me strip down and submit to cavity searches to fly the unfriendly skies of the USA. Get a F#$KING warrant outlining WHY you need my information otherwise get the hell out of my face and my life. We are not Communist China or Syria (yet).

It just means that the data WILL BE THERE when a warrant is obtained. -- A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury.

Besides, what guarantees would you have it's the government tapping into that database anyway? Not that it would make much of a difference. These days people have no problem letting the world know what color was the dump they just took on Facebook or Twitter. And once that is done it's recorded forever and ever.

clone join:2000-12-11 Portage, IN	reply to Linklist Anyone who defends this law while supporting the "Defunding of the Federal Bureaucracy" is a hypocrite. If I've done something wrong, get a warrant, then you can monitor me. No going on fishing expeditions with the last two years of my data, though. If you don't see how that's rife for abuse you are blind.

If you don't see how that's rife for abuse you are blind. Don't be naive. There is years of data collected about you in many, many areas already subject to subpoenas & warrants. Your entire education record; your health records; your driving record; your banking records; your criminal record(if any); your calling record for voice calls(landline & mobile); your voter registration record; your real estate purchases; your tax records; your credit card purchases; your Facebook & Twitter posts; and on & on. This is just one more. -- A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury.

clone join:2000-12-11 Portage, IN	And also where I would draw the line. Do you also think they should keep recordings of every phone call for the last two years? Just in case, you know... What about just leaving the microphone in the phone turned on all the time and archiving every conversation you have for a few years, just in case? How about just hardwiring mics and cameras in your home and archiving all that data for a few years, too? (See the article about the Verizon cable box yesterday that does exactly that...) Where do you draw the line, sir?

Sad thing is people, I would rather have a black van parked across the street from my condo 24/7 with a mic. aimed at my home then let one little greasy bastard at any government agency to see the first sentence on my medical history.
