Invasion of your privacy

It appears that one of those feared signing statements that President Bush decided that he has the power to do has found its way into a bill that appears to allow the government to read your mail without a warrant. According to a story I just read on MSNBC that is exactly what happened recently:

WASHINGTON - A statement attached to postal legislation by President Bush
last month may have opened the way for the government to open mail without a
warrant.
The White House denies any change in policy, but civil libertarians
are alarmed, saying the government has never publicly claimed that power
before.

Federal law has long required a search warrant to open first class mail
unless postal inspectors suspect it contains something dangerous, like a bomb or
a hazardous chemical, reports NBC News' Pete Williams. But in signing a postal
bill just before Christmas, President Bush said federal law also gives the
government authority to open the mail "for foreign intelligence
collection."

Wasn't it enough that Bush authorized illegal wiretaps and now he basically is going to allow the Feds to read our mail without a warrant. It seems El Shrubo wasn't satisfied with the NSA wiretaps, now he thinks it is ok to read our unopened mail. Everyone wants to be safe from terrorists, but we draw the line when the governments actions violate our privacy.

Where is this all going to end?
