Terrorists apparently save messages in the “Drafts” folder of their webmail accounts, and other terrorists log-in and read them using the same password.
So this legislation will be effective in combatting terrorism WHY exactly??
Many draft folders are stored on cloud servers. Nothing much these days on computers can escape viewing. Even disconnecting from the internet is not what it seems as many routers and wifi wireless connections can be turned on secretly without anyone noticing. Even old computers with ethernet only connections are not immune from viewing because to communicate over the internet, they must first come online and connect.
The terrorism threat is real and is a result of our awful immigration and visa system which stem all the way back to the 1965 Immigration Act.
Immigration failures have led to encroachments on our constitutional rights and many of these encroachments are warranted in some cases if we are to combat terrorism effectively. It’s a Catch-22.
But long term encroachment of our rights lead to erosion of those rights to the point that in the future such rights will be considered as not really rights at all, and therein lies the danger.
Therefore, we need to profile, locate and deport every illegal and terrorist suspect as a part of a larger war on terror to preserve not only our security but also our rights. Preservation of rights is tantamount as without them the idea that is America becomes a fable rather than a reality.
I’m reading a book right now called “American Terrorist” and they do the thing with posting a video of somebody’s family in their drafts folder and then open it up and show it to them on a laptop. It never actually gets sent.
