Privacy
In recent years—especially since 9/11—Congress has been totally negligent
in its duty to protect U.S. citizens from federal government encroachment
on the rights of privacy. Even prior to 9/11, the Echelon worldwide surveillance
system was well entrenched, monitoring telephones, faxes, and emails.
