Wyden must get lonely in the senate. Glad somebody’s paying attention to this
Awwwww Ronnie, they’re just making certain that incoming voters are following tRump on his Twitter.
Thank the FSM for my state’s Sr. Senator (and our Jr. Senator, Jeff Merkley, is great as well).
Trump merely needs to sign an Executive Order repealing the 4th Amendment and this issue will go away.
Thank goodness we still have a few Senators in the NW and NE who will stand up to these clearly unconstitutional acts. I know my TX senators would sell out the constitution as quickly as Drumpf, if it were to their personal and political benefit.
An employee of NASA who was NEVER supposed to unlock his phone for anyone else apparently had to do so for the border guys. Ugly travels, mates!
The fourth amendment went away when Bush signed the Patriot Act.
What? Law agents doing something illegal toward non-whites?
I’ve got some thank you letters to write. They have both been incredible lately.
True, but Trump has probably informed staff he’d like to make it official with one of his little bi-fold cardboard announcements in the Oval Office. Maybe invite in Mrs. Treadway’s high school civics class to watch the ceremony and mark the end of privacy as we know it once and for all.
Note to self-- Before re-entering the US, backup iphone to cloud, remove appleID from phone as well as social media accounts and mail. Delete mail from laptop and wipe keychains. Restore when I get home.
My password? Trumpisatraitor. What else do you need to see Mr Customs officer?
Chiselin’ Trump: “My new muslim immigration ban just got ten feet taller!”
Traveling abroad? Send your cell ahead by Fed Ex or UPS to the hotel where you’re staying!
Buy a throw-away and fill it full of BS! Find a language that hardly no one uses and transfer everything on your throw-away, to that language!
I thought it was interesting that the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) scientist, Sidd Bikkannavar, an American-born Muslim, posted this on Facebook:
“I’m back home, and JPL has been running forensics on the phone to determine what CBP/Homeland Security might have taken, or whether they installed anything on the device. I’ve also been working with JPL legal counsel. I removed my Facebook page until I was sure this account wasn’t also compromised by the intrusion into my phone and connected apps. I hope no one was worried. JPL issued me a new phone and new phone number, which I’ll give out soon.”
[emphasis mine]
This is pretty representative of the level of trust government scientists and their respective agencies have in the current regime. It’s spooky and reassuring at the same time.
Great idea. Run all your bullshit through a six or eight different Google Translate iterations before translating it to Maori. It’ll give them something to do.
George Orwell just had a posthumous orgasm.
You have to admit, those facing 3x5 cards make his hands look normal sized.
Thank you Senator Wyden for challenging DHS on Border Agents demand travelers PINs to their personal devices without probable cause.
Oversight for ICE is much needed. Don’t expect we will see any with the GOP in charge though.
