This case was in 2000. And with the internet already in existence one would think that any bill to monitor our internet history would be dead on arrival. But it isn't. In fact we are being spied on every day by 73 "Fusion Centers" in the US that operate with no government oversight. So who's in charge of an agency that can have you put on a no fly list? 5 stars to the Colorado Supreme Court.  -- J Carlton, Calgary      1
