I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, direction/context or something in
your post Bob. By "he" do you mean me or John?

If you mean me, not at all, no fear whatsoever. My original point was that
AT&T doesn't want to get hit with a bunch of frivolous lawsuits (like
Verizon et al. did when the NYTs undermined our national security with
their leak prior to this latest one) because they let the government look
at communications by terrorists, or allowed a look to chase down a
potential terrorist, so they're changing their privacy policy to try and
avoid a few billion dollars in lawyer fees, they'll still have to spend
millions regardless and all of our phone bills will go up because of it,
just not as much.

What I'm afraid of is having to barricade myself in down the road, after
every single frigging effort the government attempts to use to nail the
bastards, while there's still time to save our way of life as we know it,
is leaked by moles inside the government and published by the NYTs, thus
placing us all (troops first, for now) at greater risk of loss of life.

All because too many (well, yes "too many" but the polls showed
that an overwhelming majority had no problem with the NSA program, and an
even higher percentage will find favor with the latest leaked program --
now rendered useless) of us everyday law abiding citizens are worried that
"Bush" will find out we like "Noritake" china, or
shopping "Blue Light" specials at Kmart. They already know that
stuff anyway, and they don't care, nor should we -- this our government
working to protect us, not indict us for nothing.
