You mail opening post section is such a total sack of rotten cabbage that you should be ashamed of having posted it.
Historically in wartimes mail has be censored, and opened at will.
It is such a stupid straw man. With the literally thousands of tons of mail every year processed in this country, who do you think is going to open and examine all that mail.
This is clearly designed to allow reaction to an emerging threat that waiting for a warrant may let the timer expire in a package or crate.
Your wife my be interested in your love letters to your linebacker friend from college , but I am sure GWB has more important issues to worry about.
That is just satire to show the stupidity of your position. Get over it.
There are millions of people communicating in hundreds of ways each day on this earth, and at best we may have 70,000 bodies assisted by computers to try to filter out the most important.
Oh next week my new assignment is warrant less pantie checks of females on the streets of new york.

Not sure if everyone has seen these videos of the US military in Iraq or not, but they are pretty amazing: Hopefully our ‘surge’ will not include too many of these types…

Echelon is correct…that spy program hooked into every single communication satellite relay, fiber optics…virtually every single communication medium.
I believe the program was initiated during the cold war, but it morphed into a terrorist activity spotter after the Cole and the 93 WTC bombing and stuff.

What was the name of that massive NSA project that was to scan all the emails in the world that it could get its paws on and flag those its algorithms deemed suspicious? Echelon? Something like along those lines. And under what administration was that? It wasn’t GWB. Yet, you couldn’t have thought it that egregious an infringement since you campaigned for that same administration. We weren’t even at war then. Why the change of heart?

After pearl harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt authorized the interception of all communications in and out of the United States. Lincoln intercepted telegraph communications without a warrant. You make the mistake of thinking that recent history is the norm and extrapolate it back 230 years.
