Protecting children from terrorists is what it is all about no doubt.
I recently discovered that our school district has had 8 foot high fencing installed around all of the schools along with locked gates.
All thanks to the federal government giving away fun buks to anyone that will sign their freedoms away.

Postmen see who gets Trump mailings. Some mailings are more than letters: a Trump coin , pen, T-shirt or cap I have received could have alerted a postman that I’m a contributor, not just a registered voter.
Couple that knowledge with an FBI WIFI signal showing up in the neighborhood makes me wonder if I’m being spied upon since I’ll contribute unflattering Biden comments regularly here and on other sites.
I’ve assumed there are far too many of us to deploy FBI WIFI spies to neighborhoods, but I put nothing past them. And the occasional display of an FBI WIFI signal that pops up on my WIFI status window on my laptop does raise questions. Along with the unmarked white van parked down the street.

But I haven’t imagined any of that kind of stuff for quite awhile now.
Check
Uses takes a picture of every piece of mail you receive. You can see it ever morning online.
And I imagine the information is kept forever
You do have valid observations , so I should give you the benefit of the doubt .

trying to divert the point of the article happened on the mike Lindell WMD thread
In one breath they said any cell phone can do what his WMD does
In the next breath they claimed it was probably illegal
So I guess all our cell phones were supposedly probably illegal..
Smh.
And who doesn’t like doughnuts !
/-)
I do.
But if they can’t spy on us, how will they control us?
