Sorry to have you click on a new post in the courthouse...like the title makes a difference and you would not have clicked if I had titled it "another govt entity wants to keep all your data in case you go rogue"
It actually helps to make my point.
Arlen, just so you know, those of us that live in safe parts of the country, dont have to lock our car/house doors?
I am not concerned about the hackers in this thread, I am concerned about my govt. tracking things for no good reason except I may go rogue. Though if I was concerned about my info being hacked, perhaps my ISP not storing it for another 2 years would keep me safer. Think of the fruit in that database and surely, since everything must be at this point, it will be accessible on line, otherwise it would be of no real use to the police today.
Essentially, why not read people's mail and retain the content for 2 years, it would serve the same purpose.
Also, BTW, most American mail boxes have no lock, but somehow the internet with all your protections, is less secure? Have you seen the latest PO ad on TV, they are actually marketing based on the fact that there are little laws protecting your identity, the legislature makes damn sure of this and they are now using identity scare tactics to get you to shop with them in stead of email billing...because people can see your crap on line.
You can spend all afternoon spinning your story but the bottom line is your thread title is a lie and you are the liar. Nothing else to say.

I don't want the Post Office to close. But if some goofy legislator had come up with a sneaky plot to close it down by making everyone too paranoid to mail anything, it would have been fun to discuss.
The title does create considerable confusion. I did read the article twice thinking I had missed something. Regardless of that issue, the whole concept that someone would actually consider keeping a log of every site you visit is mind boggling. What are they thinking? What is this supposed to accomplish? Like so many pieces of legislation these days, there is a zealous pursuit of criminals at the expense of ever law-abiding citizen.

The USPS has been bleeding our money for years...I'd love to see it taken over by the private sector and have any profits taxed...a win win. It's becoming a dinasour anyway, why keep pumping money into it?
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
