Re: Nobody complained before ...

This 'Post Office' mind game has gone too far.

Before cheap, powerful computers and storage were invented it was uneconomical to spy on everyone unless the authorities had good reason to mistrust everyone. Now it is affordable and any bureaucracy will adopt useful equipment and practices if it fits into the budget. The problem is not the bureaucracies it is the law.

The FBI needs to know where the law stands. We need to have the laws that suit us.
