Tough call...
They were able to identify the shitbag who was sending threatening messages (to the school principal, I believe), boasting that he'd never be found.... So, in this case it was a good thing....
Since I NEVER break the law (assuming what we're doing here is not illegal), upstanding citizen that I am, I'd like to say I don't have any reservations about my government having this kind of capability - but I do have reservations....
Tough call. At what point is the cost of security too great?

I'm not sure that opinion is universally held. I'd rather not have this degenerate into comments like, "every thinking person says it has", with the response being: "every thinking person in MoveOn.Org", so I'll just leave it at my original comment, and not be drawn into a non-productive arguement. That's not to say I'm right, but I'm not sure what the answer is. Given the piss poor approval rating of the president - and the even lower approval rating of the other-party dominated Congress (33% and 24% respectively, according to the AP July poll), I'm just unhappy that our elected representatives on either side of the aisle can't seem to figure it out either.
If they couldn't catch him through conventional methods they were pretty useless. :shock:cdzsmith1 said:

Agree it's a tough call. My thoughts run something like: At what point does our government turn into
a dictatorship?
I understand the crime rate in N. Korea is almost NIL as restrictions on their people's movement is really
really absurd, interenet access is non-existent, etc. etc. Do we really want our government to be onto
our every move, and dictate what we should or should not do? Chill my bones....
