http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46501 Realistic, or bunkum? Regards Peter Mark: Seems plausible. What isn't plausible is the affirmation of goodwill from a security service. They are only going to respect rights as far as people don't cross a line forever undisclosed. They are a necessary evil, of course. But I don't fall for all the bunkum that they won't hurt anyone who gets in their way in the course of their operations; though I don't suppose Western agencies are as callous with 'disidents' as a Chinese or Russian or Muslim/Middle East agency is. They can listen in to our phones anyway, they can locate anyone with a permanent address or whatever. With sufficient determination and guile they can find out just about anything on anyone if they want to. For the most part casing anyone is expensive, and I am not sure their budget, let alone man-hours, can stretch on spying on everyone with the simple motive of 'just incase', computers or otherwise. Mark Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Annointed One.
