Government Promised ISPs Immunity For Breaking Wiretap Laws

looks like I'm going to be using encryption for everything now.

Try zsentry.com. The receiver doesn't have to have an account. I setup medical offices with it b/c of HIPPA and Hitech.

Best solution I have found yet to encrypting your email without both ends having to setup their mail clients for it.

I'm 100% with this. Rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

I'd rather be killed by a terrorist than surrender the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments.

Wait, you're saying that EVERYONE is connected to the internet and using Facebook and social websites? You're saying that if someone is going to blow something up, that they're likely to post it on Facebook before doing it?

That makes so much sense! Get rid of privacy, glass houses for everyone!

No but almost everyone uses electronics as a tool to communicate and research. I have no doubt that the boston bombers discussed the bombing over the phone, maybe even by email and text messages and probably conducted research online.

"Look at England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand."

How about your surrender your citizenship and take you ass to one of the above countries.

Whether you admit it or not, the 1st and 4th amendments like the 2nd amendment is crippling us.

The Boston terrorists had online profiles on facebook, twitter, etc and from all indications used smart phones but because some of us choose to hold onto a few silly outdated ideals, we weren't able to track and stop these bastards.

If Boston PD had access to a unified searchable database of all major social network profiles, phone calls, emails, text messages, recorded gps data and other communications made a year before the marathon they might have been able to type a few key words and tracked down these terrorists during the planning stages and even if they missed it, they would have been able to quickly find them afterwards.

In conjunction to a database of all communications, we as American citizens need to be able to tip off authorities without shame or fear of retribution.

We need to be able to submit profiles and locations of any suspicious persons or suspected terrorists from the privacy of our homes in a completely anonymous way and authorities should be able to have unified access to it. Any bit of information helps even if it's erroneous.

We also need to require all phone companies store GPS locations of all phones so authorities can not only know where a terrorist is going but know where they could go and they should be able to maintain these records for 5 years. Prepaid aka "burner phones" should be banned or require proof of residence to activate.

Had all of this been in place we could have avoided a lot of deaths but none of this matters to a few bitter clingers who choose to hold on to a few outdated amendments.

We have to remember, the Boston terrorists used gunpowder and guns to cause mayhem and death all thanks to the 2nd amendment. So I pose this question: How many deaths have to occur until we wake up and do away with these outdated ideals?

The 1st amendment allows the media to tweet and broadcast movement and strategies of law enforcement in real time and there is not a darn thing anyone can do about it which is sad.

Had the terrorists been savvier, they could have followed twitter and various online publications like broadcastify, ustream, etc to monitor the police and plan an escape all thanks to the 1st amendment.

Look at England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They function perfectly fine without these amendments so why can't we progress and move forward with the rest of the world?

Regardless of what the conspiracy theorist crowd espouse, our government is trying to stop these terrorists and I fully support their tireless efforts to achieve that. I'd rather be safe and secure than dead.

What happens if all the major nations cease to exist and nations are only allowed to be small scale and unionized in some ways?

This means no single entity controlling a group, and the group isn't necessary a actual group that would support one another.

So in a way, "United States" is better off un-united?

What if you can do the same with Russia and China?
Heck Canada easily can lose the top level government to only retain provinces even.
