I feel really sorry for the NSA agent that has to watch me.

[DavidMW]

If I were the least bit paranoid, I'd wonder if clicking on such links is the NSA's way to help it identify people hostile to its goals.

I have nothing to hide. So it don't bother me.

I'm sure that a lot of us feel our rights are being violated, and they may be right.

Sometimes, even if you have nothing to hide you can be in trouble with the law.

I find it funny how paranoid people are about "Internet security" or their personal rights. there are really only 2 things to consider.

You don't want your government to check your e-mails, but you're happy for ISP's to have that information.

We did?

First, most of us on here have people in our lives we don't want to know we have been here.

[DiapermanAl]

Yes still have nothing to hide lol. Only email i get is from making orders. I don't email individuals.

Diaperman Al, you do know it is a crime for you to put your pills in an unlabeled container? To be hiding Nothing? (Nothing s a very dangerous substance!). To sit on a park bench? (man beaten to death by six cops,, fullerton, CA). To attend an interesting trial? To have the wrong name?(the no fly list). To enter or leave the country? (various lawsuits over confiscated electronics and unlawful detentions).

There is enough bad stuff going on right now that it is important to let Uncle Sam know that lots of voters think there is a problem.

[Red Barchetta]

It's silly to bring that up now - they ALREADY have a way to legaly read private e-mail, and that was there WAY before the internet - it's called, apply the same rules and conditions that apply to snail-mail!

[babyleanna75]

They aready moniter every thing we do online checking for illeagle transactions wonder what they think of are addictions to diapers. They've built and still building data storage sites for all the data. All I get is spam and diaper related emails . Let them waste their time on reading my emails.

[DavidMW]

Either way it would just make logical since to use the same regulation for postal and e mail, why not it IS mail no matter what, it's only a differance of delivering physivcally or electronicaly but eitherway the contents

[Guest gnappies]

Pointless, carping about it.

[Fulldiaper]

Our rights to privacy is guaranteed by our Creator and documented in the Constitution. If we allow them to spy on us without probably cause or warrants..what next, we give up our guns and let the police and government protect us? The German's did that with Hitler, see where that got them?

[DavidMW]

You do have a right to privacy, but that doesn't necessarily apply to information you share with others.

[ForbiddenFruit]

Minor pedantry, The (American, legal) right to privacy is only an implied right drawing from four amendments (1, 4, 9, 14?), although it was used and strengthened in Griswold V Connecticut and Roe V Wade. Strict constitutionalists such as Scalia maintain that no right to privacy exists (as long as it suits him, of course).
