Companies all over the U.S. have strict policy that prevent user from installing unapproved softwares. With the budget of the U.S. government, could they hire a decent IT specialist? Or is Congress dumbing down its hiring practice? As the DOT documents, it is bullshit. Who cares about road contours, base plan, or structural details. what's in your pc?

The Sixth Circuit decision reflects good judicial judgment. SCA warrantless search is simply based on old law that is not up to date with modern technology. Why should e-mail be treated any different than from regular snail mail? What business does bureaucrat has to do with my electronic communication? Do I get to read the bureaucrat's e-mail content? why should my freedom have last priority to theirs? what's in your pc?

I appreciate Erin Simon for alerting me of this issue. The Orwellian America never sat well with me. It negates the forethought that the founding fathers tried to instill into the basis framework of our government such as open policy. Before you yell why should you care if you don't do anything illegal. Remember, that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Remember the time when Google was subpoena by the AG to logs search inquiries, Google refuses and Americans applauded their effort. Now, the coming of FISA will force company to spy on their customers. And you bet you can forget about the RIAA and MPAA--a new sleuth is in town. FISA is nonsense. It is created by powerful and rich lobbying group and greed-driven politicians who want to land a good corporate job after they retire. TheMurph made a good point about this Bush administration. It has capitalized on the idea of terror long enough so that it promote its own good. The administration's stance concerning religion and nuclear family is a laughing matter. Just look at their own private lives. In the end, you can't make much change to the way your country is run even if you are a multi-billionaire. But if you're president, your vision is reality and hell can be made. what's in your pc?
