In reply to the discussion: So which Amendment is it that permits subordination of the Constitution to "safety from terrorism?" [View all]cascadiance
(19,537 posts)So that private industry contractors can spy on us and just CLAIM it is reasonable! Anyone can do that. Perhaps the terrorists in Boston felt their actions were "reasonable" from their point of view. That doesn't make them that way from most Americans' point of view nor would most other bodies of law enforcement feel that they were "reasonable" if they knew about them in advance.
The NSA and other PTB's efforts in keeping this crap secret is a TESTAMENT as to why it is unreasonable. If it was reasonable, they would have admitted they were doing this a long time ago. That they haven't shows that most Americans feel that this type of spying is UNREASONABLE and would have had such a program shut down as not being constitutional or following the 4th amendment.
