Scary indeed. But anyone who wants to stay informed should read it. The full text, along with the text of all other legislation passed in response to 9/11 (that they're telling us about) can be foundhere. HR3162 is the big one.

I found this today on a weblog that shall remain nameless:

"I've read some call it a loss of freedom. I don't think so. I mean really, if you aren't doing anything wrong, immoral (yikes) or illegal, why should it matter?"

The vast majority of people with whom I've discussed this legislation have said exactly the same thing.

Americans, unfortunately, set the world standard for cluelessness.

"Wrong", "Immoral" and "Illegal" are relative terms.

In the name of full disclosure, I propose that all of the people that are so in favor of this freedom restricting legislation should be forced to submit every single piece of personal, private information in their possession for the public record.

You say you've got nothing to hide? Show us!

still... what are the restrictions that this bill puts on us? who would like to break this down for the board? perhaps we could even cobble together a zine article.
