We're not talking about drone strikes, we're talking about rummaging in google accounts. Which incidentally we know for a fact have been used in the past by terrorists to plan atrocities.

Now, it just so happens that I agree with Benjamin Frankin's assertion that those who trade freedom for security deserve neither. Nevertheless, going all "stick it to the man, they're all out to get us" puts no votes in the ballot box. These people can be fought and the laws they operate under can be changed. So lets work towards changing them.

Its not just rummaging through google accounts. Its recording 5 days of all Internet traffic.

But I agree with you: change the politicians in power, change the laws.
