As I'm sure you would agree, Scott, the authorities would never abuse these powers, and anyway, what objection could a law-abiding citizen possibly have to permitting the cops to paw through his personal data? It's a price we should gladly pay for the privilege of living in this nonpareil of freedom and civil liberties and not in some Orwellian hellhole of a surveillance state. Eternal vigilance, y'know...

cordially,
