Welcome to free republic... and if you are a federal employee... I would suggest you get that information OFF of your home page... POSTE HASTE.
your comment "the innocent have nothing to fear" is the problem. In a move towards tyranny... the innocent have the most to fear... and I would rather let a criminal slide than ever impose on the freedom or rights of a innocent citizen... I would rather let a hundred suspected criminals go free, than lock one innocent citizen away by accident... that is the price we pay for freedom... and the cost of our liberty.
