If you speculate and opine that the worst case argument is far from what would happen you are far more optimistic than me.

You see, laws are like seeds, they don't stay in the seed stage forever. No matter who and how many people reassure you that "Oh, no, that clause is only going to effect those people, you've got nothing to worry about", those in positions of power ALWAYS abuse the letter of the law.

They don't say "oh, well, the law says this, so we better watch out and leave them alone", they say "well, the law says this, but it DOESN'T say that, so we're going to get away with as much as we possibly can."

Have you forgotten about the PATRIOT act, etc so soon?
