Well look at that, JayS, is right. No oversight or approval will be required to wiretap an American. Interesting, nearly every outlet, except the NY Times, is misquoting that article. > Do you really think AT&T should be sued for millions, if not billions, for doing what the government told them was legal? Yes. You’re driving down the road, there’s a cop in your passenger seat. As you pass the 35mph sign the cop tells you the sign is wrong. Now even though you’ve lived in this town for 30 years, and have always obeyed that sign, this time you hammer the gas. Flashing lights and sirens appear in your rear view. Apparently JayS says you are not responsible to pay that ticket. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ugh-house-passes-new-surveillance-law/50327)._
