Well our government is at it again. This time it is the Customs Agents, under the great stripper of Rights, The Homeland Security (or the Government Insecurity) Act.
It seems that since the great disaster of 9/11, that this administration uses the incident to do whatever they like under the guise of keeping us safe. But like i have read from one of the founding father " If you let your freedoms be taken for the sake of security, you will receive neither freedom or security" (this is paraphrased, but the meaning is the same).
But this latest one deals with a report that i read today.
It seems that the Border Agents can seize your electronic personal items for an indeterminate period of time. During this seizure, they will copy the memory of these devices, and analyze it. The items that they can take are Computer, Cell Phones, MP3 Players, PDA's, etc. Now the go further to say that if nothing is found that the information will be destroyed, but are we stupid enough to believe this. You might, but I'm not. I know that they will keep this information, to use the information as they see fit, usually against us. But the disturbing part is that the Border Agents can and will do this without having a search warrant or probable cause.
Just another example of our freedoms under the constitution being taken away bit by bit. Thats why it is more important than ever for all of us to stand up during this election, and actually show at the voting booth that we mean business. Lets stand together this November to make our voices heard. Its now or never!
Viva Liberty!
