No offense taken, a healthy exchange of ideas is the first defense against dictators. I am not good at forming ideas into words and at times my intent and what comes out does not always match.

Do not get me wrong. I am not infavor of the continueing increase of survailance, cameras, and snooping. I am only stating that the info coming in is so overwhelming that the average citizen can not be monitored. A person of interest in my mind is a terorist or those in direct communications with a terrorist. I have info that 'butt lick jones' is making or has made contact with a sleeper cell in the last 24 hours or next 24, it would be nice to know where ole butt lick went, or is going. I am not interested in his rights, and right now they have more rights then we do.

Does this open up an area of abuse, yes. But it is our job to make sure that it is not abused and that it is used within the powers meant. If we were to worry about everything that could be abused then we would immediatrely outlaw guns.

My 2 cents.
