Look. I have three grandchildren. A temporary shut down of these phones, given what I have read, would not be unreasonable.

You can risk your life if you wish. My grandchildren need to be able to grow up.

I am sick of people whining about their rights while we are in a battle with people who want to kill all of us, including our children and granchildren. We suspended some civil rights during WWII, and they were restored after the war. The same thing should apply here.

If you are so concerned about rights as opposed to stopping terrorists, might I suggest that you go live in Spain?

Thank you. I have worked as a civilian contractor, specifically on Lawful Interdiction Devices.

I will defend your rights, and mine. Congress punted, and DID NOT declare war. Therefore any suspension of civil (or any) rights is unconstitutional. I know for certain that we are in a battle with evil people that want us dead. And one of the methods that they employ to that end is the exploitation if ignorance (not calling you ignorant) regarding technology.

Many others, including dakine, have attempted to clarify that the technology management is handled very well by private American technology. Yet some come along and quote news media as the ultimate source of knowledge and wisdom, further demanding the Executive branch to cripple communications. All dissenting opinion is branded "Bush-bashing". The purists of the Republican party are as despicable as those of the Democrat party. You both abandon conservatives and imperil our republic.

I am sick of people whining about their rights while we are in a battle with people who want to kill all of us .... We suspended some civil rights during WWII ....

You just revealed the problem. There is no Declaration of War on file .... when there is, I'm sure a LOT of people will be in for rude awakenings and a lot of people would agree with you about restrictions. Until then, we're right, you're wrong. (Personally I think we should have declared war 9/12/2001 and started rounding up muslims)
