It is staggering that some people feel that the intelligence agencies should not be attempting to closely follow ( and track) by way of intercepting all and every possible means of communication , phone calls, texts, emails, faxes , etc, of those individuals who are a potential threat to our country and its people – even if that means the rest of us surrender a degree of our own privacy. What’s the problem? Are people insane ? The anti-snooping lobby need to get out and about more. Unless they had somehow failed to notice the world is a very dangerous place. The world is a village and dark forces roam everywhere . Just look at the loons that make the most of the digital revolution – the internet is a giant and welcome leap into the cyber age for all of us , unfortunately , this also means that it is available as a tool for the bad guys – the crazed fanatics who want to blast innocent people to Kingdom Come. The likes of silly ( not a grey hair on his head ) Nick Clegg and his gang of windbag , astonishingly naive, politicians delude themselves that our privacy can still be protected. It’s over. Gone are the innocent days of complete privacy – the cyber age has taken care of that one. So why not deploy this tool to track down the those maniacs that are a danger to us all. Simple.
