Take A Break From The Snowden Drama For A Reminder Of What He's Revealed So Far

44. I'll try to make it simple. If I agree to someone having access to something that belongs to me,

that eliminates the 'creep' factor, because I have control of the situation. If that same something that belongs to me, is accessed by a stranger, or strangers without my knowledge or consent, then I call the police.

You are putting forth the age-old argument in defense of the indefensible. Today's technology is no less or no more 'new' than the printing press, or the telephone was back in the old days. The 4th Amendment covers future technology and our laws are incredibly capable of preventing the abuse of new technology.

The FFs were fully aware when they wrote the 4th Amendment into the Constitution that there would be advancement in technology re communications, after all they took advantage of the new technology of their time. The word 'effects' in the 4th Amendment should give you a clue as to how thoughtful they were when they wrote that amendment.

Stop using technology as an excuse for these abuses of our rights. If my neighbor used this incredible technology to spy on me, I could have him arrested. I want the mega spies arrested and charged with violating the rights of the millions of people whose personal privacy they are invading same as I would want any peeping tom arrested.
