drug pusher?
That's how the government views us little people: all are potentially guilty.
The government hysteria over drugs has led to students being suspended
for having Advil, under school Zero Tolerance for drugs policy.
Reefer madness leads to Advil insanity.
It is a "gateway" madness. ;-)
No wonder kids don't respect the government's anti-drug crusades.
They are subject to random drug testing if they want to play sports.

* kids to snitch on friends, parents.
1984 means a constant State of War.
The government is totally nuts, hooking our flesh up to machines to verify
the pureness of our "precious bodily fluids" [Dr. Strangelove].
Isn't a government demand that our flesh be logically hooked together with
machines the definition of 'cyborg'?

The NSA domestic watch-list is probably already stuffed
full enough to use the complete CALEA capacity.
You can select many more lines for monitoring than actually end up active
at the same time. The effect is indistinguishable from a MUCH larger
monitoring capacity.
Even greater when the software programmatically decides (at the FBI end) which
conversations to continue listening to.
I'm sure law-enforcement will be able to dynamically configure their
connection to the phone companies' networks.
And probably cheat to use ECHELON to direct this programmatic control,
yielding no effective monitoring limit for domestic law-enforcement, and
domestic political control.
Law enforcement has absolutely no need for the Digital Telephony Act except
to give them their own access terminals and PRETEND there is a firewall
between what the Military is doing versus what the FBI is doing.
Of course, to monitor phone calls at full capacity,
the FBI will need to use Military surveillance software.
We've come a long way from requiring a person to listen to the first minute
of conversation to even decide whether the person could continue to monitor.
It's a brave new world now.
We're there.
Surprise.

# "Dole Calls for Wider Military Role in Fighting Drugs"
# By Katherine Q. Seelye, The New York Times, August 26, 1996
#
# "I want the Military to expand its use of technology, including
# reconnaissance and satellites and area surveillance and listening
# posts...and call the National Guard to move in," said Presidential
# candidate Bob Dole.
#
# "In the Dole Administration, we're going to return to what works. We're
# going to replace the President's inattention to dangerous drugs with a
# clear and forceful policy of zero tolerance."
#
# "That's ZERO TOLERANCE."
#
# "ZERO TOLERANCE for drug smugglers. ZERO TOLERANCE for drug pushers.
# ZERO TOLERANCE for drugs in the workplace and drugs in school. And
# ZERO TOLERANCE for illegal drugs, period."
#
# "ZERO! ZERO! ZERO!"
#
# "We will REDOUBLE our efforts to put drug criminals behind bars."
#
# "We will only appoint judges who will throw them in jail."
Thank Gawd he didn't become President.
