I’ve been very cranky with the whole proposed TIA/Capps II/Patriot II (surprise). One of my main frustrations with this proposed legislation is that most actions will not actually provide security, but will simply eliminate privacy in a way that it will never be returned. We will continue our path towards the Panopticon like a skateboard out of control – faster and faster with no comfortable way to halt.

So, while i still feel useless in making change within this very disturbing government, i support the ACLU in doing so in any way that i can. Today’s action: write your representatives about the CAPPS II Airline Profiling system (as terrorists have figured out how to avoid it while regular citizens are banned from flying).
