From: Risto Lankinen on 18 Apr 2008 20:51 to find out about this incident. The case raises significant issues of freedom of speech and assembly, privacy and government accountability. In response to an FOIA asking why this happened, the Secret Service responded: "We are sure no one knows why we had the meeting disrupted". They have made a mockery of FOIA. This mockery of FOIA is still being litigated by EPIC. An intentional illegal government surveillance program...it just never stops. Marc Rotenberg has gotten the Secret Service to admit in court that this was done to "investigate hacking into a company's telephone switch." Since when did the "investigative" techniques used by the Secret Service become valid for use in the United States? Going up to a bunch of mall patrons and DEMANDING IDENTIFICATION from them and searching them? How exactly was this supposed to further investigate a switch hacking?

Mini-recap: o Congress voted into existence a court that bypasses our normal Fourth Amendment constitutional rights. Poof they're gone. o Congressional oversite is weak.

Big Brother's ears have plugs in them right now (or they are, by law, supposed to), at least on the domestic telephone and cable traffic. But the National Security Agency's ability to monitor microwave transmissions, to scoop out of the air VAST numbers of communications, including telephone conversations, store them in computers, play them back later, has a truly frightening potential for abuse. George Orwell issued a warning. He told us that freedom is too much taken for granted, that it needs to be carefully watched and protected. His last word on the subject was a plea to his readers: "Don't let it happen. It depends on you." ] * * The National Security Agency's Project L.U.C.I.D., with all its * technological wizardry, is a future, planetary dictator's dream---and a * Christian and national patriot's nightmare.
