1510), which would significantly undermine many of the freedoms that Americans hold dear. It is likely that this legislation will be rushed onto the Senate floor this week without any committee review.
Among the bill's most troubling provisions are measures that would give the government the authority to spy on its own people, enable the Attorney General unlimited authority to incarcerate non-citizens, and allow the government to expand its use of secret searches on people like you!

* A long-time Waco Holocaust Electronic Museum supporter runs a
controversial Christian Identity listserver. He also lives in a
little town in the Mid-West where local regulations allow him only
one ISP--his local phone company. It is my understanding that
yesterday, October 11, the local POLICE came to his house and told
him that, as a result of a complaint against him, his ISP account had
been shut down. Yes, that's right, the POLICE came to give him a
message about his ISP. Get the picture? It probably won't be long before articles such as "Operation 911: NO SUICIDE PILOTS" are removed from the Internet.
Now, for one pilot's reaction:
=== BEGINNING OF PILOT'S COMMENT ===
Just a quickie on this one. Yes, this hit me as I was watching the
whole thing live on TV that day. The only reason we still have pilots
is that people wouldn't get on a aircraft without one. As any pilot
knows, and I am one(I fly twin turbine a/c, rotary and fixed wing) we
are just systems managers. Modern technology allows an aircraft to be
controlled by computer inputs. They land better on auto pilot than
manual, the most modern systems anyway. They could even taxi to the
gate without the pilot. I doubt there where any nasty folks on
board, just a lot of screams, no yahoo's. technology, don't you love
it. oh, and the phonecalls to loved ones. Well, I do a great Bob
Dylan voice impression and Winston Churchill, currently working on
Prince Charles. maybe one day I could do impressions for the security
services. Oh, and the middle eastern chaps on board, maybe they
thought they were off on some cloak and dagger meeting on the west
coast with their handlers who had also paid for the flight training
earlier, for an undisclosed mission, sacrificial lambs. Oh well, life
is great. enjoy what we have left of it. Live lightly on the planet.
Stay at home and plant a garden. Peace.
