WHAT COULD GO WRONG? The Government Wants A Backdoor Into Your Communications.
“According to the New York Times, President Obama is ‘on the verge of
backing’ a proposal by the FBI to introduce legislation dramatically
expanding the reach of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement
Act, or CALEA. CALEA forces telephone companies to provide backdoors to
the government so that it can spy on users after obtaining court
approval, and was expanded in 2006 to reach Internet technologies like
VoIP. The new proposal reportedly allows the FBI to listen in on any
conversation online, regardless of the technology used, by mandating
engineers build “backdoors” into communications software.”
Let's review:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to
peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And:
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon
probably cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
And just for fun:
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage
other retained by the people.
