 	There *are* some very bad people out there. When did our 
government decide that you or I may be one of them, and no longer need the 
safeguards that protect the American people from the government?

 	Prolly a better forum for that kind of argument. When you say that 
it is okay for law enforcement to infringe on some privacy rights, you're 
allowing them to do such things. Freedom shouldn't cost us our freedom.
