Quote by: xyzer I don't feel threatened because I don't have any reason, or need, to converse with terrorists. I'm sure that applies to the vast majority of us. I also feel we should root out the enemy within this country and this seems like a good way to do it and help deter the enemy! |
For a lot of people it isn't a matter of spying on terrorists, the government is the perfect example of threading a needle with a sledgehammer. They will snoop on 10 million people to MAYBE get to one terrorist, if they're lucky. And a lot of us remember when the Freedom Of Information Act went into effect a lot of people found they had actual FBI files (no link at this time, just from memory) when they had NO reason the be suspected of anything. J. Edgar Hoover's FBI was keeping tabs on people for reasons other than national security. Since it happened already, I see no reason to trust the government to be more careful now especially with the fear of terrorism causing people to overreact.
