I think what we are seeing is the erosion of law enforcement rules as a result of the "Patriot Act". The FBI and other govt. agencies were given broad sweeping powers in the name of fighting terrorism and are applying them to other areas. I saw this coming, as the "Patriot Act" is incredibly Unconstitutional, but others just insisted that it was a good idea. I think the US Federal Govt has adopted an official policy of "it's better to apologize later than ask permission" and it is becoming a very slippery slope. Of course, that's just my opinion. Come and arrest me. biggrin.gif

I see nothing wrong with them doing that to get criminals, but they should not be tapping all these resources to catch the equivalent of purse snatchers on the global scene...not even an organized purse snatching ring. The Patriot Act is fine as long as it is used to catch criminals that deserve the use of all the resources(and infringements on my privacy)...and the criminals are targeted due to their crimes against the people being bad enough to warrant it. Not because some corporation spreads some money around. There is of course no proof of that...or at least none beyond the simple fact that A LOT of tax payer money in at least two separate countries was spent to make this arrest when the target was not even a large offender of any laws and most evidence was seized during the arrest, but the target was in place to drastically hurt the bottom line of quite a few large corporations in a legal way.
