[QUOTE="roadrunner2012, post: 1181404, member: 40736"] Perhaps Cheryl did complain back in the Bush/Cheney days, maybe a link or three could be provided. I do recall some posters here saying that whatever powers Bush grabbed would only be expanded upon by the next President. I bet you'd do the same if it were you ;) I have never assumed that anything I write on the internet is private, and I don't have any doubts that if Cheryl was presented with a valid warrant she would give the authorities everything they asked for. I also do not assume that my telephone conversations are private, or my mail, for that matter. I still dont think Tony has lost any rights, him being a well off white man and all. Now if he were a young person of color in NYC, I'd say yes indeed, his rights are being infringed upon. Do I approve of what the NSA is doing? Likely not, but it would seem that no one really knows what they are doing, so I really can't answer intelligently. I have to figure that as technology advances, even less will be truly private. How far off is the ability to read thoughts? Not that far would be my guess. [/QUOTE]
