Big brother....

The fact is not about the government using this to protect its citizens, its about the government using this for other uses! Like for economical reasons... Politicians often have large companies or ''friends'' with large companies (Bush make a lot of mney with oil so he choses not to follow the kyoto protol for CO2 reductions) so wath proof do we really have then thses information are not used by them for thei own profits?

Coruption is evrywhre and some who wish to pay could use this informtion on you!

Also, you have right to your privste life...

Again, Delisk enforces the need for spell checkers... :D

Personally, I *HATE* big government.

However, I also *HATE* terrorists. And, being that I've quit trying to solve all of the world's problems by myself, I'm okay with it.

And, like Pank said, they have been doing it for years anyway.
