It really does not concernt me hardly at all. I just cannot see how it interfers with my life or the lives of people I care about. And it probably helps protect against terrorism | |

It concerns me some. It probalby should be looked at. But I do not think it is the major concern that some seem to think it is. | |

It concerns me. It does appear that the intrusion into privacy may be going too far. | |

It concerns me a great deal. The expansion of surveillance capabilities and quite likely actual practice is likely to become an ever increasing threat to freedom and democracy | |

To be perfectly honest, I like Paul Newman\\\'s Own Thin Crust Frozen Piizzas - especially the ones with uncured pepperoni. And I understand the profits go to charity. | |

(7,804 posts)Some of the small cohort of disruptives on this board are reasonable people on other subjects and they've gone nuts on this one simply because it's taking place under a Democratic administration. I think they're completely mad.

(17,301 posts)how can it NOT be abused?
You know something that really has bothered me about these corporations spying on us through the NSA, CIA or FBI? China could own that corporation. Or the corporation collecting all our personal information could be bought out by Iran. How about one of the Bin Laden companies owning our NSA spying contracts?
It boggles the mind.

Glad to know DU hasn't lost its mind- just been infested by people who trying to put the fire out.
You guys are going to need a LOT more buckets to carry the water needed to put this one out.
