They're pushing for the creation of a national Web interface linking police computers with those of Internet and e-mail providers so requests can be sent and received electronically.

It's also fairly easy to see that it's unconstitutional.

The "authorities" won't be satisfied until they can watch every single person in real time. Then they'll get serious.

After all, what do you have to fear if you're not guilty?
