Even die-hard libertarians understand that and don't claim otherwise.
So where is the warrant for all the phone calls that the NSA (or their collaborators like Verizon, etc.) keeps track of?

Only now do you include a warrant. How much of the "laughable" Snowden-revealed spying was under cover of warrants, do you suppose?
Waaaiiiiit a minute ... you're a troll, aren't you?

I think this user is earnest in his or her beliefs. They're just unpopular on HN.
Is the Voynich manuscript a troll artifact (like the Piltdown man bone)? From wikipedia, it looked like just an undeciphered manuscript.
In the extreme, yeah, it's dangerous. We're so far from that point in the Western world that I don't fear it right now.
>natural state of affairs
Yes, it is the natural state of affairs that the government have the power to snoop on us with a warrant. Otherwise, law enforcement has their hands tied behind their back. 1st grade civics tbh
