Skip, I think you're missing my point. I certainly have nothing to hide from law enforcement. I engage in no illegal activity. Does that mean that I want someone reading my private emails or listening to my private phone calls? When some guys have posted on this thread that if we give up too many civil liberties then we become just like the enemy, this is exactly what they're talking about. During the cold war, communist regimes could evesdrop on thier citizens without the permission of any courts or any other authority and without fear of reprisal. So are we to follow that path? Doesn't that, as some have said here, make US just like THEM, thereby allowing Them to "win"?
