...But they'll have to catch me first, which is why I also have a giant tub of lard so I can strip naked, grease up and start running at a moment's notice. I just hope lard isn't banned for some made up "public health concern" and my plans are foiled.
I get the top bunk..

You do see what the govt. is doing, dontcha? Janet "Big Sis" started it a couple of years ago when she sent out her memo to Local Law Enforcement agencies all over the nation. In that she listed the types of folks that were to be watched as "potential terrorists." She even listed Veterans returning from war!

There was no excuse for that. To put our finest in such a light was inexcusable and a huge slap in the face.

What they are slowly doing is to paint us all as potential terrorists. This way, if and when our govt. does become truly tyrannical then they've got us all suspecting each other, or at least they have planted the suggestion in our minds so that once there is a true, national emergency that we will.

They are gearing up for calling any true freedom fighters "terrorists" so that our govt. can eventually become as tyrannical as some leader or group within it may desire. Then, they guarantee they can't be defeated in their tyranny for the laws and mindset will all be in place to jail their opposition.

Sad, but this is precisely what's going on with all of this INSANITY. meanwhile, Big Sis will continue to remind us all to report anything suspicious, sheesh, as if none of us ever had a brain to do so, anyway.

No, this is Psychopolitics for a brave new world.

eta: privacy on your home phone, cell etc..that is another story but that is not what the OP is about.
I don't carry a computer everywhere I travel.
How would I get wifi services? On what?

Whhhhoooooooh.
The new bogeyman, people who use public internet services.
What if my phone doesn't get internet? Why would I want to pay that much for phone use?

You better never travel outside of the US, because sometimes that's all you have.

I guess now I must be a gambler and prostitute because I don't follow your likes.

What you mean is "I don't travel much so I'm naive about the usefulness of internet cafes" right?

I don't like to consider myself an alarmist and I generally don't like the "slippery slope" argument, as it does not pan out for most things. However, I've been following this issue closely since it began. When it started, it was just "suspected terrorists" and "enemy combatants" who were caught fighting half way around the world. Even then people were concerned about what would become of such a policy, but Americans in a post-911 world looked the other way. Then they started locking up non-citizens on US soil and they assured people that these were non-citizen "terrorists" with ties to Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. Then then started locking up US citizens under the policy. Last month, it finally came to an end when the Congress gave legal sanction to the military to lock up and detain any person within the county and hold them as long as they want. The only thing left to do now is loosen the definition of "terrorist," which is what will happen and, as you can see, is happening. This coincides with the random searches that are becoming bolder by the government. It started with random PATH train searches in the NYC metro area. Now we have them in every major metro train system, on buses, and recently on highways. Several years ago when I complained about this kind of thing I thought that in a few years people might make fun of me for being paranoid and I would end up eating crow. I no longer have such reservations. We are already on a path from which there is now no return.
