The kings men also viewed their power as necessary as Comey does today. They could simply enter someones home and search all your papers. If you wrote anything derogatory against the king, off you went to prison. This is what inspired the American Revolution and the Fourth Amendment that there had to be a reason to search not just arbitrary desire to want to know and lets see what we can find as the NSA and FBI do today. This is the very essence of LIBERTY. You cannot pretend to be the leader of the free world with people like Comey in government.

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Yes!
If they are bitching and moaning about it, it’s usefulness for it’s stated purpose(s) has likely already been compromised.
A tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5)
This is precisely what we have here.
Don’t believe it for a second.
CA....
Allows people to be beyond the law? Let’s ponder that statement.
When the law has been subverted and twisted so as to endanger the populace, then there is a valid need for the people to be beyond the reach of the keepers of the law.
That day has come. We need more people to be beyond the likes of those who craft laws to enslave and intimidate the people. Our forefathers fought tyrants over 200 years ago. And the need has come again for the people to fight tyrants within our own government today. Privacy is very much needed in order to fight tyrants, and we should use it to take down the tyrants.
we need to start tapping the government. tappign their home and private phones. and going to star chambers once we have exposed their collusion and corruption.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
That's a tough question to answer.
Who knows. Do you think you can buy hard drives from them that are COD? (crash on demand)
Thanks, I am familiar with the TOR project.
It’s really even worse than 1984, because now people actually purchase the equipment that spies on them with their own money.
“This is what the FBI, Apple and Google want us to think.”
Oh anything but that briar patch - don’t throw us in there. If you throw us into that terrible Googlemail briar patch, we won’t be able to read anything, and folks will start talking about all the bad things again, that they talked about before Snowden...
It’s official - we are all being considered as criminals prior to any evidence to the contrary.
Scavengers will feed on their own, right?
The central comity is not happy steps will be taken.
I'm a little unclear why you think it might be almost over. Have you seen any spokesmen for the GOPe come out and way that once Zero is out of the way, that they'll start dismantling the survellance state? Did Either Bush get rid of the FISA courts?
Making this a partisan thing just plays into Fedgov's hands by pitting "us" against "them", when it's actually the government against all of us. On this issue, perhaps we can get both the left and the right to rally against the survellance state.
The only government that wants to degrade the safety of its citizens is a despotic one.
Thanks.
Most of the people here think Comey must be some Obama crony.
Also, didn’t the Bushies go after Trak Phones for the same reason?
But, it’s comforting to pretend it’s Obama’s fault.
Trak phones are encrypted?
I forget the issue now. I think it was simply, you could buy one, start calling, and no one knew who you were. And something about Middle-Eastern looking guys buying them in bulk.
