You can pry it from my cold, dead hands

Insert Big Brother reference here.

It's almost getting old, talking about the numerous privacy violations that we've had to endure at the hands of our government, but each abuse of our liberty makes exposing them all the more important. For those of you who haven't read the story, the NSA has decided that it has the right to take possession of your laptop at the border without any suspicion of wrongdoing.

This violation of individual privacy is absolutely disgusting. I often wonder how the policy makers that created this live with themselves. I'm certain that they have some sort of rationalization of how these sort of things are for the greater good, but I can hope that they wake up one day and realize what horrible, horrible people they are and how much they've undermined the very liberties that supposedly make American so great.
