That's pretty crazy . Sneaky. Guess that could be prevented with some form of insulation.

You are right. They can watch me all day and it will just be a waste of time. But consider this: with tbe patriot act it is legal for them to do so (maybe not in the face of it but the burden of proof is so low that it is essentially legal) and the NDAA makes it legal for them to act on that intelligence if you say something they don't like. Now, for virtually every citizen this is not a big deal because we are just living life. But what If some reformer type politician comes along that actually threatens to shift the balance of power so that we, you know, would actually live in a country that had the principles ours was founded on. Bill of rights and all that.. This guy would be interesting to the watchers. And he is the real reason why stuff like this should not be allowed to happen. What chance does this guy have if the people he is fighting against gets to know everything he is or plans to do? They could actually detain him indefinitely with no cause and it would be perfectly legal. No trial or anything. All they have to do is call it terrorism and they don't have to explain it to anyone. In effect, this makes the first amendment meaningless.

Anyway, that's my two cents. I'm not a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. I just think that something like this would just be too easy for the powers that be to not use in such situations and they should not be allowed to do so.

 

Before we all panic about images hacking our PCs.. it isn't really as simple as the hype suggests..
