Given how much time and money the gov't is willng to spend (or claims they are spending), it is a wonder why crime hasn't plummeted. Ordinary crime. How could they possibly be doing so much surveillance of people they "know" to be "suspected of terrorist activity" and not find someone doing something illegal. Like speeding. Selling drugs. Rape. Assault? The crimes that effect my life every day. Either they aren't actually doing any surveillance - or they are watching the wrong people - of they're simply idiots.
I am so desperately tempted to start randomly putting things in my email - and now here - that will give me the pleasant illusion of free speech concurrently with driving the gov't nuts. Anthrax. Ricin. Polonium. Iraq. Afghanistan. Al-Quaida (or whatever the spelling d'jour is).
