Totally agree on that. I still haven't forgotten 900+ missing FBI files that were eventually found in the WH private quarters dining room. Think what could happen a few years hence with possibly some of the same group in charge....

The potential for abuse is too great. The government could, potentially, collect information about every aspect of your life. It's bad enough fighting for one's privacy from the private sector. It is tantamount, in my opinion, to unwarranted search and seizure.

I give our government a lot of leeway for honest mistakes. This is a whopper. I would hate to see it implemented.

Hello KLP,

Totally agree on that. I still haven't forgotten 900+...

Totally agree that this is Off Topic.

Plenty of precedent for abuse from all sides (see: R. Nixon, et. al.)
