Live like everyone is watching

The Government should appeal. I'll take safety over privacy any day of the week and twice on Sundays. A true judge of a person's character is how they live when they think no one is watching.

You mentioned that "A true judge of a person's character is how they live when they think no one is watching."

Well I guess you must think that Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding father of this country is a poor character since it was he who said that "Those who are willing to give up some essential liberties to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

People with your attitude apparently have never live under a fascist/dictatorship country. If you did, you would not be so quick to give up your freedom.

Give me freedom over security any day. If I'm free, I can handle my own security. If not, I rather die a free man than to live to see this country slowly turn into what the Soviet Union used to be.
privacy or safety.

No doubt about it Robert, we all would choose being safe over privacy issues! But until there is such a known threat to the most powerful nation on the planet, who is on top of the latest, state of the art, cutting edge technologies, especially in the wireless communications industry, I'll have to side with privacy!
