Do yourself a favor and actually READ the bill. You might be able to save some face.... wait, it's not "cool" to actually read the legislation. Bitching and moaning impresses people way more...
So there's no rational reason to want to be able to tap anyone at any time.
Keep your head in the sand as long as you want. It only took 19 to kill 2,974 people. A "rational reason"?
Nothing to hide, right? What, you don't trust me? Then why trust a government composed entirely of people who are arguably less intelligent and less ethical than I?
If you think this bill is about our government stealing credit card numbers or alarm codes from phone calls to Pakistan, you need to remove the paint can from your face now.
BTW, they have these things called "computers" now. They automate the tasks that humans can do by the billions. Imagine, they could even pick out the phone numbers of the mere 19 people mentioned above. Oh yeah, that's right, you have to be one of those innocent terrorist types to get one of these fancy "computers" to pay any attention to you anyway. Shucks...
Ah, the "nothing to hide" argument, classic. Let's see the contents of your wallet.
Classic, because guess what? Most Americans aren't terrorists conspiring against the USA.
The wallet: A (legal) drivers license, a picture of my daughter, two (legal) credit cards, assorted value member cards, two state fishing licenses, one state boat registration, a few random business cards with an alarm code written on the back of one and no cash.
How's yours lookin? Got some international pre-paid phone cards in there, do ya?
Hmmm... let me check... I'm not a criminal... I don't make repeated calls to foreign countries discussing illegal activities... yep, looks like a good bill to me.

Once again you've proven you haven't read the amendments.
Just another pro-criminal Liberal.

"How's that MP3 collection?"
Legal and barely existent.
"How do they know unless they listen in?"
If they want to listen in on me getting crap customer service for my credit card or cable account, fine by me.
