Oh, and LardoLad, the only way we will find out about harm done is through people like Edward Snowden. The government isn't going to tell us. This is a blatant infringement on my 4th Amendment rights. The harm is in that, alone. If the government has probable cause, they can get a warrant. What have you got against freedom?

You would know that if you had even the slightest clue what you are talking about.
All you care about is pounding yourself on the chest and saying "Look at me, I'm a big shot defender of liberty" while you help enable the terrorists to plot their next deadly attack undetected. The blood of their victims - our fellow citizens - will be on assholes like you.
