Oh yeah, thats right. You're the one that wants the federal government to arrest shoplifters and pickpockets but you dont want them going after terrorists. Got it.
Invading YOUR privacy? Did you notice a transmitter in your light fixtures? Maybe a sedan with 2 guys in dark suits and sunglasses parked across the street? You catch someone snapping photos of you while you were changing clothes?
The only people who have anything to fear from law enforcement are criminals and I fail to see how an agencies that fight domestic terrorism like DHS, the FBI, CIA & NSA are a waste of money.
I dont see how you can blame the federal government for street crime and not say anything about local agencies WHOSE JOB IT IS to stop that kind of thing.
