Privacy and privacy release...

Constitution gives us certain rights. Among these rights are free speech and others.
Since Edward Snowden and others have informed us that Uncle Sam and his sons @ the NSA have been bugging all our phone calls and emails along with internet blogs. Is there such a thing as true freedom of speech.
Unless we thing Big Brother listening in on anything we say is OK. Short of whispering in the ear of someone close.

So is there true privacy? Is it alright to be jostled at the airport by some TSA lackey? Should some bureaucrat be allowed to pass mindless law every time some wacko pulls a stunt?

Do you have the right to speak out to your representatives about how you truly feel regarding what is happening.

Term limits are needed for all politicos! True change is required.[?]

    You're mixing up your rights.

    The NSA is very much in favor of you saying whatever you like.
    They'll even make a record of it. That's about as free as speech can be. [;)]

    Just like this thread right here is being sent to a 'save for review' folder.

    Now we're in the reasonableness of the search.

    You can find this thread with ease using google. *

    So our expectation of privacy is/and should be pretty low.



    * google "you can find this thread with ease using google." It's amazing.

    The privacy rant is overlapping into multilayers...

    Back in more carefree simple times people could communicate short of mobsters with some privacy.
    Mr Snowdens disclosures have shown that virtually all electronic data is monitored.

    In the days of showing up 30 minutes B4 departure @ airports to friendly attractive hostesses seems like a dream. The nightmare of TSA neo nazi abuse has taken the fun out of travel.
    The goon @ the monitor examining my female private areas is a insult.
    TSA should be run by private sector organizations.

    Term limits of all politicians could reduce injustices stealing our freedoms.
