The other day, one of my favorite websites embedded a Fox News video <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X8Ya_8KACfGm_yhcTjxBjl9IWow3ZsQm1hE8OTSenyE61vpK4DaDAr37zF-R7eB2B9lxndVHe9cZjQpd9lb_v7HmEMjyTAdQ3UQPE9Fwju4whgrsaeYj_KMVbe6jtweyT0j8w3q31-JqI44b0JZwf3fosQ2kVegrAwdYm7ZwQZgouxBEzL52W9na2FmFSfRSYyhGqCLgqWpc4kXSDBK9ZAjrqO4ZvSOZa2UiYMK6qdHebaE9Zo4EaujFMKf14amnsVDKN4u0Qz73dwOrAMU_GA==&c=DyO4oJdaO6OES5gVMWjISP6V-E0B9In76FV9xlpenaunJrLld4FadQ==&ch=bCIIkFgWVbAuI2z7kjA6dlVBSJbF78xY31VQaw9j7LUd93fuvSPPbA==> about NSA spying. Fox News entitles their video "Citizens Treated As Suspects." At the site showcasing Fox's story, though, the headline reads: "The NSA Grabs Information from Non-Suspects; Ninety percent of those spied upon are under no suspicion." Can this be right? When you're treated as a suspect, you are a suspect, aren't you? You're being suspected of … something. At least of being somebody who might be up to something worth snagging in an all-embracing fishing expedition. If you're not guilty, somebody else leaving comparable data traces is, surely. On the other hand, no matter how innocent you feel, you gotta be guilty of something for which the government could come after you, right? I do not say you have done something actually wrong. Only something some policeman or bureaucrat could hassle you for.
