"This is ultimately the destruction of our 4th Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure."

*mboncher, you seem a rational voice in this. The Swedish statute seems similar to powers already used in the US since 2001 (powers regarded as controversial by some but recently supported by the Democratic nominee for president I believe). As I said previously, the powers do not change the rights of Americans communicating with Americans in America.

Do you believe differently? If so, why?
