USA PATRIOT Bill, Good or Evil?
| 
Nov 3 02:56 UTC 2001 |
Is the USA PATRIOT bill really going to do more good than bad? The fourth
amendment seems to have been suspended if you are a suspected terrorist...
Now I don't want to slam the government too badly, but I have a feeling that
the powers relating the the internet will be abused eventually. Not to
mention life in prison for industrial terrorism (hacking). But could good
actually come of this? It isn't like the FBI and CIA haven't already been
reading our mail...

I think this is way out of hand. THe gov't could, theoretically, twist
anything you say by sampling conversation, email. USE PGP!

Could also be IRQ conflicts related to "plug n' pray" actually that's more
likely than battery.
