It's amazing what freedoms we citizens are willing to give away
We submit to government snooping as if we were performing an act of patriotism. We hear too many people say that "if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide." In a free society, there are limitations to what government can do to its citizens. In an unfree society, government officials have no limitations on what they can do to you.
It's about time we citizens of the US wised up to what the Founding Fathers had already learned about government oppression, and protect the Bill of Rights that limits the power that government has over you.
