To compare the current times/situation to what went on behind the Iron
Curtain is absurd.  Reminds me of the idiots who compared the chain link
fence we used to have on the border in San Diego with the Berlin Wall.
Review your history and leave politics off the list.

 I don't know that we have ever had an explicit right to privacy when
surfing the web per se, however, since King George II has decided that
he can ignore parts of the Constitution he finds "inconvenient" it does
appear that we are continuing our journey into an old Soviet-style
surveillance society. I imagine there is more than one former Stasi
agent who looks at the changes in the USA the past 7 years and just
smiles as he fondly remembers the "good old days" in his former country.

"SkyTel, the Mississippi-based company that provided text devices to the
city, confirmed the existence of messages to the Free Press."

At one time we all had a legal right to privacy when we were surfing the
web, speaking on the phone or going to the public library or a book
store.  But (not withstanding the 4th amendment) that was before spying
on American citizens became a political tool.
