....and a gestapo is comprised of government personnel; TIPS will be people like you and me. If we don't do it, then eventually a gestapo will. Now, just who do you want to do it?

Your ignorant about how the Gestapo/Stasi/Cheka worked there were few actually in the secret police those guys acted as "handlers" for a bunch of informers among the population. Like TIPs wishes to create.

You seem readily available to trade liberty for perceived security. Not the actions of one who loves liberty and freedom.

I think we are all aware of who not to trust. YOU.

TIPS is a Federal Government plan for recruiting millions of Americans to spy and inform on their friends and neighbors.

We will have more informants than Germany and their infamous Stasi secret police. One in every 24 Americans will be a snitch.

It will be totally disgusting.
