yes

Wasn't this part of homeland security? Anyway the government has shown that it can ignore the law and get away with it so we are converting to Oceania. Thanks GW.

The recent proposals have met with some resistance so hopefully they will not go unchallenged.

Matt, I assume you are talking about the situation in England. If so, I would agree. I never been anywhere that had atthorities so in love with the concept of constant surveilance of it's population.
I look at this another example of governmental power that I don't want the US to follow.

No. If they do that means that the liberty that was America is now a false front.

And "security" is just an excuse. If they were serious about our security, the borders would have been secured years ago.

This is true, the threat of terrorism has been used to justify a lot of snooping

Exactly. You don't need to terrorize America, just the media.

Only if there is suspicion of terrorist activity etc, as a rule I do not think they do have the right.
