i'll make the same argument i made when the bush admin ignored fisa courts and tapped into all internet traffic without warrant.

you need to be comfortable not just that you trust the people making the decision today but that you trust whatever admin is in power 20 years from now.

and like randall i'm not concerned about anyone listening to my conversations.

but i do worry about someone that thinks they need to.

i know what you mean. i have nothing to hide. i laugh when people ask 'what are you worried about? you have something to hide?' they just don't get it.
