Is that the sound of another civil liberty hitting the floor? Man.

I remember during the Viet Nam war, people were paranoid about saying words like "bomb" on the telephone, for fear of being tapped. Whether that was apocryphal or not, it looks as though times like that might lie ahead.

And before Laz jumps all over me for that, note that I've not suggested this not be done, merely commenting on the changing times and worrying out the erosion of civil liberties, a concern we should all have, regardless of political stance.
