You take one lousy week off to join Thorax at the Elvis concert, and this
is what happens: "G.W." writes on 23 Dec 2005
07:20:04 -0800 in rec.crafts.metalworking :
4th Amendment:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Yep, I see it. It says right there that international phone calls to
Al Qaida-connected people shall not be monitored in time of war (unless
a court has taken the time to approve it, of course).

You silly Democrats, you know that the Constitution is a Living
Document, and we mustn't be restrained by outmoded thinking.

Now smile for the Brady.

I find it amusing that the same people who feel that it is perfectly
acceptable to require transponders in every car so that they can determine
your usage patterns for tax purposes, get all hysterical when it comes to
that same government monitoring foreign agents inside the 12 mile limits.
