There is a difference between "being scared" and "being angry" and especially outraged. 50 years ago if the government had done this the public would have screamed "this is communism!" That is because we were told such citizen spy programs were what the communist countries do. Now if I had said that this program was "communist" Willy would have be hard put to use his usual retort as, God forbid, he would have sounded like a communist sympathizer. We know that many prisoners in Gitmo were just innocent folks that people in Afghanistan turned in for the cash the US military was offering. Do you want that here? Authoritarian governments rise on the backs of their apathetic citizens. So there is nothing wrong with waking up the public. This time the article did not first appear on the so called "conspiracy" sites but on the MSM. And in the comment sections of those news outlets people were overwhelmingly opposed to such a program. Perhaps your friends just think you're an apathetic boob. Or maybe you are REALLY a communist. After all you wanted to take over FFL and control speech. We took it as a joke but maybe you were serious. I guess that would say you're a communist but since Nabby reminds all the time us that communism is dead you must be a zombie. :-D Programs like these are security theater made to look like your government is doing something. Instead it may cause massive unemployment for parking attendants as people will not be wanting to hand over their keys to them.
