FBI CHIEF BLAMES COMPUTERS FOR PRIVACY FLAP

When reading this Internet news i realized that it softly went over the subject of the patriot act which gives FBI to the power to get information about and American without a warrant. This is now allowed for anyone with some type of security to be able to obtain information from your bank or Internet service etc. without a warrant, which means that once again your privacy is thrown out the door. I guess as I have said before it is so easy to believe that you are safe when you are sitting at your computer by yourself in your own home, who would think that everything your doing on the Internet can been seen by someone else million of miles away. This is just another thing we allow to happen because we think it will helps us in the long run be safe. All the government aka Bush has to say is that they need to invade our privacy but looking at all our computers to keep us safe from another 9/11 attack and most Americans just willingly give up their privacy rights. A lot of us meaning citizens of the United States don't understand or exactly know what rights they really have, even those that can recite the constitution wouldn't see the privacy because it isn't listed in the constitution but it is still there. A lot of the time Americans don't know their privacy rights are being violated. What bothers me is that the government knows this is totally takes advantage of this. The thing is if people aren't willing to enforce their rights then the government isn't going to do it for them.
