[rant warning - you must know my bias by now ] Why the surprise ^^^ they've been doing this for the last ten years or so - just chipping away at your rights as Americans - just another example of the Right's hypocrisy! While championing the 'reduction of Government interference and control (in their business dealings)', they are hell bent on increasing the Government control, interference and power over the individual! A sort of Capitalist slant on Stalinism! While a comment about people being woken up in the middle of the night by 'Secret Police' and 'disappearing' is, I hope, an exaggeration, it can certainly happen now if they think you're a person of interest! heck, they have to do something to justify all those 'refugee centers' they built. Land of the Free? Yeah, right...
