This is probably considered a more conservative position, but when it comes to the security of the US of A, there should be no such privacy. When you worked for the aerospace industry as I did, and you needed a secret clearance as I did back in the 1970’s, the FBI had every right to not only examine every facet of your life, but even to directly interview such people as they thought necessary for you to have such a clearance.
The only reason that this has become such a big deal now, is that the ultra conservatives (such as those on this site) have a desperate need to do any damage that they possibly can to president Obama and his current administration, regardless of just how much damage that might do to this country. And then they have the nerve to try to sound patriotic and freedom loving, isn’t that a crock though! Besides which, it has always been a conservative mantra that if you have done no criminal activities, then you have nothing to worry about!
People, all of those so called constitutional rights do not mean squat to others in the world that would take such rights away from all Americans. So, if we have to lose some of our privacy (which we have already lost to the corporations anyway) to help protect our government, that is the only real protection that we as American actually have anyway, then so be it!!

You’re absolutely right!
Once, J. Edgar Hoover kept the US safe. Safe from Commies under the bed. Safe from the Fifth Columnist Japanese who had been sent by the evil Japanese government two or three generations earlier just so they could overthrow the US government and make the US a Japanese colony had he not rounded them all up and sent them to Concentration Camps where they belonged!
Mr Hoover had an extensive database (on paper, in file cabinets) on lots of people, many of them in the White House or in Congress, and he used this information to obtain a carte blanche for himself and his organisation to preserve, maintain, and expand that database.
If only he’d had Prism, he could have kept America even safer. For starters, he’d have gotten a carte that was even blancher, and then…
I can see it now:
“Mr Schickelgrüber, if you don’t comply with our demands, we’ll release those e-mails you wrote to Ms Braun and get you booted out of the Chancellorship of Germany.”
“Mr Khrushchev, if you don’t tear down that wall, we have some information you’ll find VERY embarrassing.”
“Mr Castro, if you don’t give Cuba back to Baptista, we have some information we’re going to release.”
& etc., & etc.
It’s a pity that Bashar al Assad writes in Arabic so we can’t figure out what he’s written so we could use it to get him deposed. That’s cheating, not writing in English. Oh, and that might have been a problem with Adolph, Nikita, and Fidel, as well. Senior members of the government get their positions by being loyal, and it would be totally unreasonable to expect them to know any German, Russian, Spanish, or Arabic.
Never mind.

When I worked in the nuclear industry, I had to undergo an FBI investigation to obtain my security clearance. However, I do not consider that a privacy invasion because I was the one that made the choice to work in that industry and agreed to it’s requirements.

Obama has proven he is quite capable of Extreme Damage to the US. He even promised it with the Fundamentally Change America comment…….conservatives only point out his destruction……such as …..Obama the Food Stamp President…….Question, who in the Obama Administration is not Lying?

Never met the guy. Don’t know a thing about him except what I deduce from his posts. I deduce that he’s one clever fellow.
