Personally i think this is an invasion of one,s privacy our goverment should not pry into one,s personal affairs. I believe that we are becoming a policed society more than ever now.Eventually we will i think lose more and more of our freedoms. nelsonmiguel nelsonmiguel2152@yahoo.com 10/10/04 14:35:42 GMT
