Yeah,..........well, the U.S. laws are just as, if not more invasive than that. Actually, the U.S. has had (since 1978 I believe), The FISA Act laws, from which the Patriot Act was derived. The FISA Act was signed into law by,..........wait for it,..............Jimmy Carter ! One of the most liberal Presidents we have ever had. Just food for thought.
