How are your civil liberties being eroded?
You've never really explained that Robert? Are you really upset that you can't get on the phone with someone in Pakistan and say bomb, Osama, hijack, explosion without the small chance that someone may be listening to your conversation? If you haven't noticed, the doors to our country have been opeened to people who hate us. They have bad plans for us and they talk about them on the phone and internet. How would you catch them before they act?
