My question to YOU, sir:

"Frankly, the question(s) are whether you and I retain ours right to the protection of the 4th Amendment, why OUR private communication and transactions are tracked and recorded without due cause by a fascist Peeping-Tom State. Can you justify this?"

Your answer:

"Security"?? REALLY?? More like *crickets*

NOT acceptable nor justification to bludgeon our 4th Amendment without consent of We The People.

Btw, how did "security" help in the Boston Marathon Bombing?? What's that? It didn't help? And why not? Did you know all Mosques are EXEMPT from intel snooping?

You are deluded. You apparently have not not stuck your head out of the USA recently, if ever, and fail to appreciate the fact that this nation is under attack.

Until fools like you get the fact that we are at war with an enemy who is determined to win, I have nothing but contempt for your argument. The constitution you so piously expound recognized the first obligation of the government is the security of the nation..not giving every yahoo out there the ability to become a traitor when placed in a position of national trust..
