Were there not some alleged cases where Echelon was used for commercial espionage by American companies? Could this not be used in a similar way? At the end of the day it comes down to how much you can trust your Government.

As much as I don't necessarily have a problem with this, the real question will be what happens when someone makes an offhand, attempt-at-humor comment that sets off whatever "filters" they're looking for.  Will my kid get put on a list because he's researching and chatting with friends about JFK's assasination and the phrase "kill the president" is in their conversation?

Write my Congressman about what?  About implementing laws designed to
protect us at the cost of a minor infringement on my civil rights?  What
are they doing that your employer or network admins, who could use
benign e-mails in a much more malicious manner, don't already do.  While
I don't like it that we have go to these lengths, I feel it's necessary
for our National Security.  Besides, I've nothing to hide and if I had
something to hide I would not be likely to send it via e-mail. Maybe,
just maybe, if we had this in place a while back, some 6,000+ people,
some of which may have even been on this list, would still be with us.
It's a dangerous world out there, which requires unpleasant measures.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
