Its a violation of the 3rd and 4th amendments.

But in the meantime anyone can come into the country and is given a boatload of benefits.

Gov has no right to snoop. If I ask “John” to tell “Mary” to order a dozen boxes of paper, the gov has no right to ask either “John” or “Mary” about the communication.
Makes no difference if I use electrons to ask “John” or yell over the cubicle wall.

Unfort. there is little detriment from those in D.C. that act to subvert, overturn and/or overrule our founding document.

holds me tight. It will not attach my cross word smile!

[i_robot73]

Yep, or maybe?

Next ‘scandal’ I get myself in, I’m going to ask the prosecutor and judge to give me the same ‘punishment’ D.C. and their cabal....slap on the wrist, step-down/retire.

So much for all being equal under the law.

You're the only one I care enough about. Lately I'm a praying.

Anyone remember this campy 1998 movie about the NSA as a rogue behemoth, monitoring everyone and collecting shockingly intrusive data so that it was almost impossible to escape from them or to hide from them? Fifteen years ago, it was presented as fiction and perhaps as a warning. Today, Will Smith seems to be celebrating the fact that it is reality.

1984
Animal Farm
Atlas Shrugged
Enemy of the State

They were supposed to be warnings, not blueprints!

An article written by an idiot journalist without a basic grasp of technology.

Well, now, he is probably right, given the rapid development of bigger and better brute force computers which only the central government can afford.

But the best weapons are not always technological...

And Apple keeps wanting me to use the I-cloud.

Not just Apple.
The cloud --- delusional last refuge of the feebleminded.

Since the late fifties, "central" big computer users have insisted on having a monopoly on storage. Has never worked before, will not work this time either.

Why did the personal computer skyrocket into the uncontrollable giant it is today?

People may be outgunned, but few are stupid.
