AP-NORC Poll: [Warrentless] Online Surveillance Is OK for Most
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/ap-norc-poll-christian-rights-vital-muslim-36004085
According to the new poll, 56 percent of Americans favor and 28
percent oppose the ability of the government to conduct
surveillance on Internet communications without needing to get a
warrant. That includes such surveillance on U.S. citizens.
Majorities both of Republicans (67 percent) and Democrats (55
percent) favor government surveillance of Americans' Internet
activities to watch for suspicious activity that might be
connected to terrorism. Independents are more divided, with 40
percent in favor and 35 percent opposed. Only a third of
Americans under 30, but nearly two-thirds 30 and older, support
warrantless surveillance.

The ghosts of Hitler, Stalin, Osama bin Laden, and countless other
tyrants from history (not to mention the leaders of the EU, plus China,
North Korea, #nazitrump, and his best buddy Putin) are toasting this
with joy, using glasses emblazoned with the smiling image of Edward
Snowden.
