Do yau all think, like I that the DOJ's use of taps to find this guy was a perfectly legit use of modern technology or do you all believe that they overstepped the right of an Argentine national to snoop into "sensitive" files pertaining indirectly to National Security? I guess I must clarify my position. I am of the belief that since I don't hack, or do anything else illegal on-line, that if the DOJ deems it necessary to watch me and my actions on-line, they are perfectly welcome to. If a police officer was to knock on my door, and state that he had reson to believe that an illegal activity was occuring in my residence, I would invite him in and urge him to find the activity. There would be no *need* for a search warrant. The only people, IMHO, who need to worry about wiretaps are the people who are going to get caught doing something that they shouldn't. It's like the old saying, "If you play with fire, you're going to get burned." Or at least that's *my* spin on things.
