Do you agree with the necessity of having a new big brother bureaucracy set up to monitor cyberspace and people.

I agree with the concept; I’m not sure what we can actually do to thwart activity. They do a great job of monitoring; within an hour of the second plane crash, my phone was tapped, and stayed tapped for two weeks.

How do you know that for sure?

I know it because, for two weeks, when I picked up my landline, I got a hollow metallic sound and a series of clicks. Then it stopped. I fit a profile. I am a naturalized American, I have a relative who attended a “for $20,000 you too can learn to fly a 747” school, and who spent a year flying Muslims from the pacific rim to the middle east. I was also in an online discussion group with the head of security for a biotechnology firm, a retired NASA snoop, and a military guy. And my husband only flies one way tickets, because he flies in a circle each week, not returning from the first place he went.

Let’s just say, I would have been sorely disappointed in our government if my phone were not tapped. However, all there was to hear was carpool schedules.
