wouldnt it qualify as invasion of PRIVACY?
that's the whole point!!!
you may consider it an invasion, but some polititions in Washington would have you believe that it's "for the greater good"
how much of your freedom are you willing to give up in the name of anti-terrorism? that's the question...
with every bill they pass these days it seems like it's just nibbling away at out privacy and our freedom.
you may think they can't do it when in fact (if you read the Patriot act) the Federal Gov't can tap your phone, read your email, and even come in and search your house (without serving a warrent) in the name of anti-terrorism. all they need to do this, is make you a terrorist suspect or link you to someone who is a suspect or link you to someone who knows someone who is a suspect for terrorist thoughts. ie. something as simple as ordering a copy of the Anarchist Cookbook (last i checked that was your right, if 18 or older).
ahh listen to me ramble again... guess i've been staring at the monitor for too long today, and my eyes are bloodshot.
anywho... read up on it a bit... they are laws that govern every US citizen and everyone within it's borders, (and some who aren't)
by the way, was several months back... a guy here in Charlotte was arrested for taking pictures of buildings!!
then b/c he was actually as it turns out taking pictures of "specific bank buildings" such as the bank of america building downtown, one of our tallest.
just b/c of him, a few more people were arrested or detained... one for taking pictures of the statues downtown and some other stupid ones... guess what. the first guy was of a race other than white... was not a US citizen... and was taken in and charged with some new anti-terrorist law...
so now it's illegal to take pictures of the tallest building downtown, esp. if you're not from around here and it may be the biggest man made object you've ever seen in your life!!
ahh... i said i was going, and now i am...
give it some thought, and develope your own opinion! not mine... you don't want my opinions... i can't even remember them.
later.
