Good point. As I said last week this is an issue that we definitely must err on the right side - National Security. What we must do is ensure that the implementors do it within the confines of our constitution. After all isn't that what differentiates us from those who seek to destroy us in the name of religion and other causes?

takes advantage to water down human rights laws.
