I hope they've got a new clip. The one I saw about 2 weeks ago
was lead into with the statement that "some fear the new scheme
might compromise the privacy rights of criminals." Duhhh. The
first sound bite was an FBI dude saying that he didn't think that
"child molesters, drug lords, bombers, snipers, terrorists, and
kidnappers" have any right to privacy.
It went downhill from there, ending with a weak 5 second statement
from somebody at CPSR (weak, no doubt, because of editing, not
lack of CPSR concern).
