"The FBI appears to have adopted an invasive Internet surveillance technique that collects far more data on innocent Americans than previously has been disclosed.

Instead of recording only what a particular suspect is doing, agents conducting investigations appear to be assembling the activities of thousands of Internet users at a time into massive databases, according to current and former officials. That database can subsequently be queried for names, e-mail addresses or keywords."

A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
--George Washington

Susan - When you gather and retain information indefinitely on thousands of citizens, it should be apparent that you're monitoring - and maintaining files on - the innocent as well as the {possibly} guilty.

It should also be apparent that all the safeguards built-in to the Judicial system (having "probable cause", following "due process' to obtain individual, specific warrants ) are being by-passed by this data-pipe mining process.

Is there any particular reason why you feel that ignoring the obvious is the way to go with this? Pete
