Bet you're a big fan of the Patriot Act.......

4th Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Indeed, this monstrous piece of legislation was shoved into a 2000+ page omnibus bill and it passed... Alas, as it has been shown before, people don't care about their privacy and seem to trust any government (foreign or domestic) to violate their rights.

Quote

As we wrote before, the CLOUD Act is a far-reaching, privacy-upending piece of legislation that will:

Enable foreign police to collect and wiretap people's communications from U.S. companies, without obtaining a U.S. warrant.
Allow foreign nations to demand personal data stored in the United States, without prior review by a judge.
Allow the U.S. president to enter "executive agreements" that empower police in foreign nations that have weaker privacy laws than the United States to seize data in the United States while ignoring U.S. privacy laws.
Allow foreign police to collect someone's data without notifying them about it.
Empower U.S. police to grab any data, regardless if it's a U.S. person's or not, no matter where it is stored.

Funny when the citizen is asked "why? are you worried about something you're doing?" and it's like, um, nooo...  it ain't US we're worried about, stupido.

Try to understand wtf you're saying, before actually saying it.  We now have unknown entities, removing unknown information, from unknown Americans, for unknown reasons.  And you're asking whether WE'RE concerned about OUR ability to be trusted?

Bored_Sheriff...  strip your UKIP label, you don't deserve it.  Get on board or walk the plank.  IOW: Quit being dumb, if that's possible.
