Cyber Security Enhancement Act Passes Senate

Posted by timothy on from the why-can't-we-take-a-pass-instead dept.

XorNand writes "The Cyber Security Enhancement Act (which was attached to the Homeland Security Act) was overwelming approved by the U.S. Senate today. According the EFF this soon-to-be-law allows "any government entity (federal, state, or local) to request email and voicemail from your ISP or telephone provider without a warrant or probable cause." The passage of the Homeland Security Bill is covered here on CNN.com. Yippee."

    Please don't dump your freedom rhetoric on me; you're no 'more free' than the rest of the western world.
