Senate bill rewrite lets feds read your e-mail without warrants

http://j.mp/Ud5u8f  (CNET)
    
   "Proposed law scheduled for a vote next week originally increased
    Americans' e-mail privacy. Then law enforcement complained. Now it
    increases government access to e-mail and other digital files."

Basically, you'll never go broke betting on Congress taking a bad
situation and making it even worse.  To paraphrase Bugs Bunny, "This
Means War -- on our Civil Liberties!"
