FBI Planning New Net-Tapping Push

Section_Ei8ht writes to tell us CNet is reporting that the FBI is pushing for legislation to allow law enforcement officials free access to networking gear via built in backdoors for eavesdropping. From the article: "Jim Harper, a policy analyst at the free-market Cato Institute and member of a Homeland Security advisory board, said the proposal would 'have a negative impact on Internet users' privacy. People expect their information to be private unless the government meets certain legal standards,' Harper said. 'Right now the Department of Justice is pushing the wrong way on all this.'"

Flush out your brain!

Fascism has nothing to do with Jews.

LOL! Flush out your brain, it had everything to do with it.

The chance of a "terrorist" killing you is LESS than the chance of someone in your own family killing you. It is LESS likely than you being killed on the highways.

I am sure the 9/11 victim's families are comforted by that ridiculous sentiment. By your bizarre reasoning we should leave Kim Jong Il alone because one of his missiles will miss most of us. If I were you I would be embarrassed making these statement. You seem willing to pretend 9/11 had never happened and allow Al Qaida to cause mayhem undisturbed within our borders. Thank God the vast majority of Americans do not hold this inexplicably foolish opinion.
