The government increased it's power by putting body scanning machines in airport security, creating an act that allowed the gov to seize any data relevant to a terrorism investigation, and people detained on immigration were considered guilty until proven innocent.
I oppose the power of being able to obtain any data. I was listening to "This American Life" where a man posted a Facebook status, quoting "Fight Club", mentioning he might use a gun, and five minutes later the FBI was at his door. He went through trial after trial, all for quoting a movie. He's a comedian for goodness sake!
