No one...they go and find the data that has the highest probablility of yielding information (based on already present suspicion) and they work from there. No one needs to worry about the dirty conversation you're having with your girlfriend being bothered with. In fact, you are in much more jeopardy of having your job threatened by an employer's invasion of your privacy or embarassment because a jealous lover hired a PI to watch your every move than you are of having the government knocking on your door. |

The point is, they were not allowed to do that because of checks and balances in our government that prevented them from acquiring massive amounts of data on anyone without a court's approval of their reasoning. They have reasonably subverted all those controls and done whatever they want, which is illegal and wrong. You trying to justify it by saying that they can reasonably search within that data for whatever they need is bull****, it doesn't even matter. That data should have never been copied or gone over without a judge's consent. Jon Holato » Government Official Uses Homeland Security Data To Stalk Ex-Girlfriend (Just one of the many reasons that there are checks and balances as to what data they should be able to get and what they shouldn't be able to get.) There is absolutely no justification for using illegal wiretaps. We're built on freedoms guaranteed to us by our constitution and the bill of rights. If they don't like it they can change those with the majority of the states permission. Otherwise they can pound sand.. because they are committing illegal acts against their people. |

Re: Accepted Risks
Well, we are just going to have to disagree here. I am not bothered at all by the wire-tapping issue because I understand that there are much bigger threats than having a government official happen to hear that I had cocktails with my coworkers at Ruby Skye Friday night while he is chasing down a criminal.
