It is similar to approaching an intersection when the lights are not working properly. Following the instructions from the guy with the badge is required.
The CO workers don't deserve to be held liable just because they are caught in the middle between the CLU & the FBI.
John, THANK YOU for remembering that "the phone company" (aka telcomm provider) is a group of working stiffs TOO! :toast:
I have such mixed feelings on this bill it’s hard for me to even think about it. :bang:
The idea of allowing wire-taps without the “checks and balances†that were built into the core of our countries foundation, appalls me.
Then at the same time…. If the time comes that some “cloak and dagger type feller†slides up in my office from an Alphabet Agencies and says, “Hey Bryan I need a cross-connect from those two stitches to this here “magic box.†… and I say
(gulp) “okay, what speed and format ya need?â€Â
… I don’t think my employer or myself really needs to be SUED! How’s THAT going to help anyone?
