you let that jennie out of the bottle just a little and it will be abused. You don't have to have an attitude. I'm just asking why. I am amazed that the american people could be that stupid if they honestly didn't think giving up their freedom was going to be so easy for the sake of safety. Mention NSA and for me that is enough said. Of course I lived on Ft Meade, Md and NSA was down the road from my house and everyone knows about NSA. I remember a book written called the Puzzle Palace and its all about the NSA. I don't know if you can still get it. I read it years ago. It was very interesting.
