geez!! ! Here I am, working on my "Big Brother is Watching You in Cyberspace" piece- and I read this now about warantless searchs!! I'll tell you- I think we've got to keep an eye on the government. I love how they go ahead and supercede the rights of the lower classes- if warrantless searches were being conducted in Beverly Hills or some other mainly upper-middle class city- the public outcry would be enormous! People sometimes think I am being "paranoid" when I suggest the government may want to watch the activities of certain people in our country via electronic means- however, if the activities of people happen to go against the current government's ideology, it seems to me more than possible that they may be watched. This warrantless search thing seems ot me just one more example that the governemnt can and will do what it wishes. Um- did I miss soemthing here, or have they also superseded our right to keep and bear arms? Hmm... gettin a little scary out there.
