I thought there a some similar saying in English ... my point is that itīs outrageous that the government can take your civil rights. And itīs even more outrageous that the majority doesnīt care.
There is private date on your e-book Reader / Laptop and no one should have the right to just confiscate it.
I hope the next president will restore the constitution and the civil rights in the USA.

Ah ... well for one thing, border searches have nothing to do with "civil rights." So ... sorry, but you all are sort of missing the big picture with that one.
Next point ... no one is "confiscating" your private data. So, I really wish the folks who don't get that point would stop repeating it like some sort of strange mantra.
The next president is not going to have to "restore civil rights" with respect to searches at the international borders, because "civil rights" are not being infringed.
It's really that simple. I'm sorry that so many of you don't understand that. But ... really, it's not exactly rocket science.
