zeugma has it right - government agencies don't have Rights. People have rights. Government agencies have Authority (granted to them by the people) and Power (what it can actually get away with).

This is certainly a case of the guvt extending its Power over the Rights of its citizens, above & beyond the Authority granted it.

Exactly right. What should matter even more, is that we have a constitution specifically delineating what those "powers" are and where they may NEVER have power. At least without first amending the Constitution itself.

First Amendment. Second. Fifth. Tenth. On and on.... They just don't seem to get it.

They have been doin that for quite sometime now. We will conform to a global community and they don't care how many protesting corpses they have to step over to do it. Just take your prozac, zanex,or what ever other one of these will destroying meds you have, that they are handing out like candy and you will never feel a thing. Be a good cow and follow the rest of the herd.
