There should be a definite line between security and invasion of privacy. If all this had started because of 9/11, then obviously it was Al Queda, not average American citizens, who would deserve to have their private lives looked into. Maybe if an IP adress was looking at websited about making large bombs there would be an excuse to look further, but to do things such as look at the facebook profiles of average people is ridiculous, and in my opinion violating our constitutional right to not be searched without a warrent. I'd like to know that my discussions with friends weren't being monitered just because somone overseas attacked the United States. To be honest, having the government look into my private life makes me feel less secure, because if for some reason we would need another revolution we would be hopeless. We are supposed to have privacy in our own nation.
