I'm a liberal, but I have to agree. Why do they constantly feel the need to bypass the current warrant system? They can get these after the fact, yet they continue to push for ways to simply bypass them altogether. I realize it's a dangerous world, but if the end result turns the U.S. into something just as bad as that which we are trying to protect ourselves from, what's the use?

The end does not justify the means...

Over the years I've offered help staying secure to friends, co-workers, etc. and I've learned that they just don't care. Most people only want help in one situation- when they have a virus that interferes with their computer working properly. Then they want it removed so they can go back to doing all the stuff that got it on their machine.

If you don't believe me - tell someone who isn't a tech person to go read this blog post. A week or two later ask them if they read it. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say over 90% wont.

Or talk to someone like that about security. Watch as their eyes glaze over and they look for a way to escape.
