I'm sorry but I absolutley hate that argument "if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about".

That is not the principles our country was founded on. I have a fundamental right to be able to go about my business without someone snooping around. As Rouge said, if they have a reason to, go right ahead and do the paperwork, I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is a police state like mentaity.

The thing is, you also have to consider where the line is drawn. So we allow them access to ISP information and user habits. What about when they pass a bill that allows phone taps without a warrant? You have nothing to hide, so why should you be against someone listening in on your phone calls?
