I'm more worried about identity thieves
than the FBI. I shred everything with my
name or address on it. If they wanna sift
through the cat litter and coffee grounds,
I hope they enjoy themselves.

The government didn't take away anything the people didn't freely give up. Until we make a stand at each violation, we are simply conceding to their imagined claim of authority.
And someone finally gets it correct. The ONLY person/people to blame are YOU.

As long as they don't leave it strewn about when they leave they can have at it.

What kind of dipsh*t would throw incriminating evidence in their trashcan anyway?

They deserve to go to jail.

Also all of you with gmail accounts or hotmail have zero privacy as all copies of your emails you send and receive from elsewhere are saved by Google and Microsoft. Did you know that?

..................... I think that when you throw it away, it is perfectly legal. If you don't want something revealed in your trash, shred it.

They can already enter your property to inspect and bug your vehicle without warrant, because your drive way is "public".

I'll remember that the next time I pave it, the state and feds can do it for me.

Scary times, all about a threat of terrorism that is less then that of getting hit by falling plane debris.

Taking freedoms away from Americans is like taking candy from a baby.
