Sad but mostly true. Shame that the authors didn’t criticize their judicial brethren who, technology notwithstanding, have chipped away at the 4th Amendment with nonsensical rulings that invoke some nonexistent ‘overriding public safety’ standard.

Privacy is well and alive for those criminals wishing to cross the border into our country in peace, and for those wishing to kill their unborn child.

Not everyone has a smart phone, not everyone shops at a super market that has loyalty programs, not everyone uses GPS in their cars, and not everyone lives in a part of the country that has toll roads or SmartPass.
But everyone has to deal with the IRS....if the IRS knowing how much you make and where you make it, and then takes half of that money, that is the ultimate invasion of privacy and liberty as far as I’m concerned. The author of this piece should be concerned about THAT. My local super market doesn’t have the authority to seize my property and throw me in jail, but numerous government agencies do have that power.

Yes, technology has major impact on the 4th, but the WOD has already neutered it.

I’ve recently become quite concerned about how my medical records seem to be an open book.

Nothing in the Constitution dies without the Constitutional amendment process. The Constitution belongs to the people, not obama, not the media, not the democrats...but to the people.
It's what our military and judicial branchs take and oath to protect...it's even what the president (supposed to) takes and oath to protect.
It is not a book report, nor a set up by-laws for the Jaycees...it's the law and heart of the land and if we don't step up and protect it with our lives and fortunes, then we'll end up without either life, or fortunes.

Getting felt up at the airport by perfect strangers or being looked at naked by perfect strangers in order to get on a plane kinda put the last shovel of dirt on it for me and I don’t fly (but its only a matter of time before this will be required to get into government buildings, then skyscrapers, then the mall, then...)

Democratic re-election platform
How perfectly fitting!----
Speaks for itself...
I know this is supposed to be the smartest administration ever, but I'm sorry; if I were running a campaign with a fairly unpopular incumbent, the last thing I'd do is have a reelection slogan whose initials were WTF.

Plenty of alleged “conservatives” were more than willing to throw away any and all protections when G.W.Bush was president and we were fighting the “War On Terror”. Plenty of Drug Warriors, too. Both parties have said, right here on FR words to the effect of “if you aren’t doing anything wrong you don’t have anything to be worried about”.
Sorry, I want the government to have no more power, ever, under the best of men who could ever inhabit the earth, than I want it to have when in complete control of the most evil and despotic; anything else is jack boot licking as far as I am concerned.

I prefer carhenge. Authentic American Folk Art.
