IIRC one of the laws passed to deal with the internet (Millinieum ACT maybe?) mandated that the system would have a back door for the Government Security agencies to use that eliminated the need for doing physical wire taps. IOW such could be done by entering a few commands and one could monitor net traffice and phone calls via the “backbone”

[chuckles]

It was my impression,( I was the lowest peon on the totem), that the government would have direct access to the network, not just a back door of some sort. I thought the whole time I worked on it, there was NO WAY they would get a warrant for anything. Keep in mind this was back during Clinton and Waco era. I don't think the ME was on his mind, but militia's and the sort.

Today, if you have a conversation with a libtard, they put the Tea Party an the same level as Osama. The most threatening words a LIb can hear is Freedom, Constitution, Founding Fathers, God, ect. Terror surges through their brains to think maybe we could be free once more. The people have been conditioned to think a baby being born alive is "controversial". Or maybe getting a gun permit is "radical". When someone talks about radicals, I say I'm one, I believe in freedom and the Constitution's original intent.
