No we got screwed when these so-called "civil-liberties" groups got
envolved. Never has anything good come out of legislation in DC (atleast
nothing in the past 75yrs). There were several of us who warned about
this, of cource if a lobbist isn't lobbying then he is out of a job, so it
is no suprise that our warnings went unheeded.

<sigh> "those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it".
