The Cyber Security Enhancement Act

@Curtmungus your honor of being more famous than me is quite deserved. I salute you.

Hi! I’m not too sure where this post goes, so @Panther feel free to move it.

What’s the longest game ever played on this forum? As in, the longest gap between the first turn played in a game and the last turn played? Games that achieved this number due to huge gaps in between turns count. Thank you!

Happy Quanza. Whatever that was

That was easy! Boba Fett of course! what were you thinking?!

You mean, Boba Fett, the man who died because a partially blind man accidently knocked the fire button on his jet pack with the back of an axe, then fell into a giant hole in the desert?

Yeah, that’s the guy I want to break me out of prison…

Let me give you an update:

But the Sarlacc could never hold Fett. Thanks to his iron will and Mandalorian armor, Fett was able to fight his way out of the beast’s belly, killing the Sarlacc.

So I would say HE is the man for this Job!! 8-)
If anybody is able and will finish the Job then it is most Def. BOBA FETT�  :-D

In the Expanded Universe, that is.  The Expanded Universe also had a smuggler that was a rabbit.  You can do a lot in the Expanded Universe.  Doesn’t mean that it was true to character.  Original character from the movies was a joke operationally.  He just had a cool suit that he got from his dead dad.

Actually in the Clone Wars TV series Boba Fett makes a couple of appearances and is not incompetent for a teenager. They certainly suggested potential.

Actually, the telecoms never broke the law.  They may freely give the Government, or anyone else, any information about you they want.  The Privacy Act does not apply.  In fact, as long as they can claim they did not profit from the information they gave the FBI/Homeland Security, they are completely immune.

I reference the case where consumers attempted to sue Jet Blue for giving away their information (including Social Security numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, demographics like number of children, race, etc) to the FBI.  The judge ruled that yes, Jet Blue did give away personal information without permission, however, there was no law forbidding Jet Blue from freely giving away that information.  And, since the Federal Government did not take that information by force (they politely asked for it) they did NOT need a warrant to get the information.

So giving the Telecoms protection for giving away information for free (the same info they probably sell to private companies and individuals btw) is just stopping frivolous lawsuits and stop the waste of federal money through wasted time and expense for a case that cannot be won, due to precedent being set with the Jet Blue Case.

Remember, the Privacy Act does not apply to everything.  Only very specific industries in very specific circumstances with very specific information.  Everything else can be handed out like candy.  Furthermore, no where in the Constitution does it state that citizens have a right to privacy.  It’s implied, but not enforced nor expressly written.  You have a right to protection against illegal search and seizure, but you were not illegally searched, you gave the telecoms this information freely, and it was not seized, the telecoms gave it away.

I’m not saying it is all alarming, I’m just listing the act in it’s entirety.

And you don’t think we oppose them too? But so far, no hate crimes have been committed or buildings exploded. I say that would be Democracy at work.

Good points Mr. Ghoul, however i would be interested in what the Canadian Taxpayers Federation might come up with.
I understood that the new cabinet position was not to remove responsibilities from other agencies, but rather to enhance communication between them, use the best of all agencies in this one “super agency”.
