LOL, I hope you guys realize how much manpower it would take to look at everyone’s computer. Most likely (and realistically) it’ll be an automated system that scans for certain keywords, such “bomb, terrorist, etc.”

If so, it’s old news. Systems like this have already been implemented. Anyone ever heard of CARNIVORE? I hate to break it to you Yanny, but this isn’t going from complete secrecy to “everything out in the open.” I GAURENTEE you that the NSA can already scan whatever you’re doing on your computer in a fraction of a second. :roll:

[TG Moses VI]

Well do I really care? :) Nothing to hide… yet…

[cystic crypt]

isn’t there a loose system of this in place with regards to phone use? I’d have fun when talking to American friends and throw words like “bomb” and “president of the United States” and “White house” and “assassinate” out there just in case :D

[Yanny]

It doesn’t work like that. Basically, what this act is saying, is that your isp can release any electronic records, or information about you that they have to any Government employee who requests it. Previous to this you would need a warrant or “imminent danger”. It doesn’t involve any wide spread monitoring of computer systems.

Ok, I understand what you’re saying.
But, Yanny, why would the government single out YOU…aside from the other 300 million Americans, for monitoring. Obviously they have something to be suspicious about, otherwise Uncle Sam wouldn’t give a rats-ass about me.

P.S.: I think I agree with you, but I haven’t made up my mind yet. :wink:
