FBI wants greater tapping power over cable and DSL connections

Gee, the fact there haven't been any terror attacks on US soil since 9/11 can also suggests these creepazoids are doing their jobs.

Why don't they just ask to be allowed to look through the windows of peoples' homes. I can show them a really hot sight, once I invite a couple of people over... that's all these pervs are concerned about anyway, especially if they're getting orders from Prudecroft - who'd rather cover up a statue's breast and break into brothels than do anything of value...

1. Wow.
How's that for irony? We, the consumers, get to spring for the additional costs involved in making it far easier for the federal government to invade our privacy and violate our rights.

Damn.

:crazy:

2. You know what worries me....
when these types of articles/editorials hit the media, I suspect that
the actions have already been taking place. Its like a "delayed
effect" so to speak.

What I don't understand is: just by screening log files they can
get what they are looking for. Now, if they want to eavesdrop on
VoIP connections and the likes...they can still do it...

Either way...its going to happen if its not ALREADY happening.
