Surveillance Drift Nets to Be Legalized
February 8th, 2008Blah, blah. Total surveillance. Blah, blah.
Via: Wired:
In a Senate floor speech, Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) inadvertently made plain that the proposed changes to the nation’s spying laws radically expand how the government wiretaps inside the United States. Rockefeller was decrying an amendment that would require the government to discard non-emergency evidence if a court later finds that the spying methods violate the law.
Rockefeller makes clear that the impending changes to the law aren’t about making it easier for the National Security Agency to listen in on a particular terrorism suspect’s phone calls. Instead, the changes are about letting the nation’s spooks secretly and unilaterally install filters inside America’s phone and internet infrastructure.
Rockerfeller eh? What a coincidence.
The bill was cosponsored by Senator Rothschilde and House Representative Moloch.
okay, this is where i truly am one of those among the tin foil hat brigade: i take it as a given there is gobs of government code in MS’s Vista OS and that some day, instead of such code being in an OS, it’ll be hardwired into the processor itself -by law or not.
filters? akin to E.T. calling home -if you’re running Vista, IMHO -i repeat: In My Humblebutt Opinion….
