The Department of Homeland Security has been taking its job very seriously lately. First, the DHS flexed its muscles by implementing the naked body scanners and their contingent backups-the groping pat downs at airports during the busiest travel season of the year. Americans should be thankful for protection against "terrorists" like the little 80 year old lady and a cancer survivor with a prosthetic breast.
Now Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), under DHS, shut down over 70 internet websites suspected of piracy without notice to some of the owners. There's no indication other than "court orders" which explain how in the world the government had the legal right to simply block all of those domains.
Whatever happened to that quaint notion of someone being innocent until proven guilty? It's been replaced with an overreaching political agenda which has one goal-to control as many private industries, and by extension, every American's privacy rights, as it can before the president's term is up.
The DHS along with the Department of Justice have become the chief enforcers of the president's agenda. The claims by the DHS about their latest tactics being used for our security are bogus. Taking away our privacy and individual rights fits into the administrations plans to have ultimate control over the means of production.
One more nail in the coffin of our freedom.
