Indeed it is all to familiar to scanner listeners. Both in the public
and private sectors, technology has given too much of an advantage to
the "haves" at the expense of the "have nots." Without oversight of
government communications, records, and surveillance methods the public
is put at risk of abuses. Though there will always be good rationale
expressed as to why such means are necessary there is also no debate
that it will be abused and at our expense. The price of freedom is
eternal vigilance - timeless wisdom attributed to Thomas Jefferson. (It
may, in fact, have been a paraphrase of Curran but who's quibbling?)

Folks in the scanning community might find this interesting, though I
suspect the information isn't new to them.
