(13,409 posts)There is no doubt that the collection of this data by a government agency constitutes an unreasonable search. And your knowledge of what has and hasn't escaped my attention is probably a good deal less than your knowledge of applicable analogies. It was awful when Bush was doing this and it's just as awful now, more so considering that this is coming from an administration that promised transparency. This is the exact opposite of transparency.
And that you still don't see any difference between the routing of data and the storing and analyzing of your data POST transfer shows that you either know nothing of data processing, or you're an intentional disruptor.
I don't need even flimsy reasons to deny your analogies because they're so godawful to begin with. Hell, a father telling his son that a woman is like a fine wine is a masterful analogy compared with the tripe you've come up with. If you say something that makes a lick of sense to begin with, I might have to try a little harder to discredit it.
