I supported the Patriot Act when it was passed and many Libertarians warned that this could happen. It looks like they were right. I wish that I and others had listened to them at the time.

They’re out of luck here. We don’t have one.

There ought to be something in the law that says that if any government agent uses the data for anything other than anti-terror activities, that government agent is subject to a $10,000 fine and ten years in prison FOR EACH INFRACTION.

Seems fair to me.

[Happy Rain]

Well,we all knew from the beginning that the extra constitutional powers we gave the Executive Branch necessary to combat an extra unconventional enemy could be used and abused by a new Executive Branch with anti-American nefarious intent.
So it goes.

Collect away, anybody who looks at my cell phone records or listens to my calls (all 6 of them per week) will be bored to death in no time flat.

Boy, they’re gonna be bored with my data.

The Patriot Act was the beginning of the end for America. You just cannot give government this kind of unbridled power. It is a disaster.

[theBuckwheat]

Government will expand until something stops it. That is the raw nature of government. In the case of privacy, the only way to prevent government abuse of the privacy of every citizen is to forbid it to collect any data that it can abuse. This is because if the data are available, it is only a matter of time before government will find a way to give itself a pass to get access to it.

[broken_arrow1]

Yeah, Patriot Act - a way for the democrat-communist-Marxists to track and act against patriotic Americans. Thanks a bunch Congress for reauthorizing this sham against the 4th Amendment.

[upchuck]

No worries. They are not collecting MY cell phone data.

[steve86]

My cell phone calls:

1) Don’t forget the milk.

2) Get two gallons and bananas.

3) Dad, can we go swimming?

4) There is water around the bottom of the water heater.

5) The bird got out and is flying around the house.

They’re welcome to them in my case.

[Right Wing Assault]

Heh, heh! They haven’t figured out my secret code. Good thing, otherwise I’d spend the rest of my life in prison. “How you doin?” “What’s new?” “What time are you coming home?” “Pick up some junk food at the store.” “Is it going to rain?”

Good luck!
