That pesky fourth amendment

Hope you like living in a police state!? And that means you non-American guy, too. For the intel services do not stop at national borders. Nor do they respect foreign legislation.

All this would be easier to accept in the name of anti terror - if only the national states would have shown greater trustworthiness over these issues in the past years and decades. But hey haven't. Fighting terror is only their excuse to get these tools of power for themselves. States are amongst the greatest threats to be feared out there, one own government. The occasional terror strike people can learn to adapt to, its not different than thousand skilled in yearly traffic accidents, or school shootings, or bad food habits. But having freedom taken away from oneself, has far more serious and long-lasting consequences for a civilisation. And can lead to much bigger state-made barbary and revolt-caused blood shed one day.

Even if it is considered to be not polite to think, not to mention: to say so.

Move along..... there's nothing to see here.

In all seriousness, this has been going on since Hoover opened shop back in 1908. Nor did Bush do us any favors with his Patriot Act back in 2001.

Their wet dreams today are called "smartphone" and "operation system".
