I just wanted to let you know that the new Homeland Security Bill has passed in the United States. Things will be different now and Internet surfing will be tracked by what the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) calls a "non-intrusive method." The FBI says you will not notice anything different.

Well, glad I live in the UK

But if they do view what you click, then wouldn't that still count as invasion of privacy, regardless to whether you notice anything or not ?

Seems like a lazy way to find terrorists anyway

Eh, our tax dollars at work...

ha ha ha that's excellent, you mean we won't notice just like they didn't notice the terrorists talking about attacking the WTC?

Valid source please?

Phatman · 03-20-2006, 04:11 PM

Ah, don't you just love people who can't back up what they say?

Yeah, there are a lot of things that are going on that most don't know about.
