This guy got the attention of the world.

Europe cares more about privacy issues than we do here.

Maybe people will get upset when their homes are searched when they are not home.
Then again, maybe not. It's just a "moderate" infringement on their rights and if they are doing nothing wrong then they have nothing to fear.

When they start doing that I'll leave them a note
"Hey, while you're searching my house can you do a load of laundry and take out the trash while your at it ?"

Trial run was Boston...homeowners welcomed the paramilitary police into their homes to be searched.

Well I missed the welcoming part in the vids I saw. Regarding those previous whistleblowers.
'We're in the Abyss': My KPFK 'BradCast' Intvw with Daniel Ellsberg on Edward Snowden

On Wednesday, during a fascinating interview on The BradCast on KPFK/Pacifica Radio, Ellsberg said directly, in the wake of Snowden's disclosures: "We're in the abyss. What he feared has come to pass."

Relax, son. It's just a story. Fiction.

History proves that ALL nations and forms of government eventually fall, however.

We invited those of our neighbors who are charged with and sworn to protecting us into our homes to search for a terrorist because we have reasonable perspective in Boston, unlike Texas.

agree 100%. At the least everyone sould delete their fakebook and twitter. Somerthing creepy about being monitored live, unless you are working and getting paid for them.

Why should we, as citizens in a "democracy" provide free information, which is NOT being used for good purposes.

There seems to be little difference now between the US and the East Germany Stasi state.

No, you didn't invite anybody. The cops just took over your town and you stood by like a whimpering dog. You don't value your fourth amendment rights. If that's typical of Boston, you are all wimps and you deserve a Nanny State. You don't deserve fourth amendment rights if you aren't willing to fight for them.

Hitler would love you guys.
