And a curb on liberty. If this is okay and privacy no longer matters, why not an officer in every home following you around and recording everything you do and say? After all, if you have nothing to hide why worry! This officer can film you masturbating or screwing your significant other, he can document that skin condition, he can record that website you paused at (wait, was that a teen girl? Was she really over 18? Are you SURE?), and search the database for any possible connections. Have you smoked weed recently? Do you own an arrowhead? You know that Eagle feather on your wall... the one you found when you were camping? All those things are felonies you know. In fact, so is owning anything over a hundred years old, they just don't enforce that one -- though in YOUR case they might make an exception. How often do you yell at your kids? Sounds like an abusive parent to me. How many beers a day do you drink? When was the last time you crossed the speed limit? If you cannot remember no problem, they are keeping track.

And by the way, you know all those anti-government posts you started to type on DU? The ones you never sent?

The government needs to know. It's the only way to keep us safe.
