Orwellian indeed.

Yikes. Big Brother is always watching over everyone's shoulders apparently.

I can't believe this is even being considered as constitutional.

There's really nothing to worry about with this. Only wrongdoers have to be worried. I would welcome this sort of thing here.

Won't affect me.

Shane's right. If you're planning something that is breaking the law, like a drug deal then you have something to be worried about.

There not about to jump on every person that mentions gun, nor is there going to be someone sitting there reading every single email and text being sent. That would be an impossible task.

It's more likely if you get in trouble, they've got emails and text messages on record to look at. If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about.

I wouldnt like that, seems overly controlling. But if it needs to be done it needs to be done.

Well 1 Billion dollars won't cover the costs of reading every email and SMS so I wouldn't get worried, although this is encrouching in our freedoms :S
The more goverments control actions of the populace the less free you get so this won't really affect anyone but it's not a good thing.
