Got your tin chapeau?
Arguing for the Foreign Service Intelligence Act (FSIA), Sen. Orrin Hatch compared critics of the bill — which basically lets the federal goverment tap your phone and rifle through your panties drawer — to looney conspiracy theorists.
Those who would require what Hatch calls “onerous oversight provisions” and who fear unlimited executive wiretapping power “feed the delusions of those who wear tin foil hats around their house and think that 9/11 was an inside job.” That would include senators Harry Reid and Chris Dodd.

What I love is the the name supporters use for FSIA: "The Protect America Act." What kind of monster would oppose that?

Talk about censorship.
Eliminating your comment about the spammer wearing a tin hat was an accident, not censorship. Sorry aboput that.
The problem with FISA is that most of this domestic espionage is handled by private contractors, who then give they government what they deem important. Meanwhile your copyrighted stuff, your inventions, and your private life, is up for sale in the private sector.
Just like baptizing Marilyn Monroe for the dead, somehow, a hundred times. With the new orphan art laws, everything goes out to the highest bidder. If your new invention or program is of interest to AT&T, scrutiny in the name of National Security, sweeps up your work, in a highly profitable net. Stuff you still have on the drawing board, is already patented.
