This new law should not trouble anyone except someone with something to hide.

Shall I explain what it is about this view that's so repellant? Would anyone understand if I pointed out that government has successfully engineered a shift from a presumption of innocence, to a presumption of guilt? What was formerly a burden of proof on government to show WHY it needs to invade our privacy, has been turned inside out: now "law 'n' order" cultists are bleating that a preference for privacy is prima facie evidence of guilt.

Slaves.
