Meaning that the police can tap your phone lines and read private e-mail.
Is this going too far?

I totally agree. The media was already talking about bioterrorism before the anthrax letters. They somewhat indirectly contributed to the problem.(the media starts mentioning Anthrax as a possible weapon and, boom, we actually start seeing Anthrax? Sounds like they gave somebody an idea)

[QB]Yeah, well since no one really reads the news anymore, most Americans didn't know it was happening. Its scary what the cops can get away with now.
As for all this horrible stuff going on with Anthrax, I have a sneaking suspicion its some opportunist in America doing something.
Jumping back to the bill, it has been watered down a bit since Ashcroft entered it (in its original state it was "let's turn the FBI into the SS plan") -Needless to say, Conservatives, Liberals, Libratarians, and other civil rights advocates in the House flipped until it was changed a bit.
If you disagress with it then you're either a left wing mincer or have something to hide.

<STRONG>Bobak! is totally right about this.
It's almost Orwellian.
All this terrorist stuff reminds me of the Salem Witch trials, or 50's Mcarthyism (stamping out communists).
History repeats itself.
It's almost like it is by design...</STRONG>
