I´m glad I know a lot of North American people, if not you would be the right example for every Europeans´ prejudice for a typical American.

I congratulate any Senator who has the courage to stand up and say, "this is wrong!" Though unfortunately Senator Feingold is an attorney by trade, and so most likely the law will be written in an incomprehensible way, and thus require years of legal battles to sort out what it is actually saying, but why not throw away additional American GDP to the court systems instead of any actual production?

Oh .... so you disagree with my analysis of the article?? Pray do tell where you think I made an error?
Was it with the author's lack of facts?? The only thing he did say that has a factual basis was when he wrote of "the executive branch's long-held authority to conduct routine searches at the border for purposes of seizing drugs and other contraband. That authority is vitally important for our national security and public safety."
Now .... as you and Milarepa are so blindingly brilliant ... then answer two very simple questions ....
1. Do you agree with the article when it states that there "the executive branch's long-held authority to conduct routine searches at the border for purposes of seizing drugs and other contraband. That authority is vitally important for our national security and public safety" Yes or No??
2. Do you agree that in the digital age, contraband can be in a digital form and kept on computers?? Yes or No.
If no to either of those questions, then .... I'd love to know how you formed that opinion.
If yes to either of those questions, then given that you do not wish to see Customs have the ability to search for the contraband, what do you propose should be done??
Or .... are you two just into flapping your lips randomly and not so much into coming up with actual and workable solutions??
In other words, do you have something to contribute ... I mean something sensible?? Because I haven't heard much in the way of anything sensible from either of you thus far.
