And these are the bozos you'd give unfettered access to all our email/homes/offices/medical information/financial information/etc? Combine this information with the sweeping powers granted to these SAME PEOPLE with the anti-terror legislation. THIS is why some of us FEAR our government!. Incompetence kills!

It's easier to not look like a bozo when you have more information.

Call me old fashioned, but I think that the FBI and CIA should know if someone is doing web searches for how to make or purchase anthrax. Heck, I probably wouldn't even mind if the FBI had a software program that scanned all unencrypted e-mail to see if someone was e-mailing instructions for an anthrax attack.

I'm sure that you see great injustices in our society daring to protect itself from such attacks, but you and I simply differ on various opinions.
