In the Lap of Freedom

It may hold our financial records, innermost thoughts and pictures of our loved ones - but there's nothing private about a laptop computer at the nation's borders, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.
No, of course not. And if they really want it, there's nothing private about them within our borders, either.

Just who do you think is calling the shots here?

I have to ask, under what pretense are they doing this. Or are all the Amendments and rights just going up in smoke. Loved your last question because it's really us if we have the balls. I think that we try until the system fails us although many would say it already has.

The system failed us a long time ago, but many people are just now realizing it. The infringements started really small and when they were not smacked down for those infringements they got bolder. It's just like a child checking the boundaries.
