Re: Talking thru their arses
"
Show me who the terrorists are and I won't need everybody's communications for review. My job will be much easier. Oh wait, you have no idea who the bad guys are. Well maybe computer scanning of electronic communications for clues isn't such an invasion of privacy after all, especially if it saves you from an early coffin.

And what else are you going to justify with that argument? ID cards that must be produced for any journey or transaction? Mandatory government-monitored GPS in all private vehicles? Random body searches of people going about their normal business? Random house searches? Dusk-to-dawn curfews? Or how about mandatory government-monitored CCTV in every room of every house? All the above could be justified using your argument.
