Sad what's happening in our western countries. Its not just you guys from America, here in the uk we got a new Act passed last year in parliament that allows the secret service, the police, the government and the councils to read and extract all information on any electronic device for any reason without a warrant. Freedom is on the decline. The self imposed suicide of the west. It makes me sad.

With all the advancement made in technology, it's sad that it's becoming a burden.
