An ignore list? Woohoo! Oh wait, how many people have been ignoring me? Hello? Is anyone listening???!!!

Did someone just say something..?

Perhaps we will get an answer.

The opening paragraph of the article.

"If the police arrest you, do they need a warrant to rifle through your cellphone? Courts have been split on the question. Last week the Obama administration asked the Supreme Court to resolve the issue and rule that the Fourth Amendment allows warrantless cellphone searches."

SHANNON - I am torn: On one hand, the exlusion of Molly has definitely improved my blood pressure. On the other hand, I must now seek out alternate forms of work "entertainment".

Brent, tomorrow's legislative update will have to suffice for your TDCAA-supplied work entertainment this week.

If you are saying that Leg. Update will be as entertaining as some of Molly's posts - You are setting the bar pretty high, my friend.
We shall see....

As an ancient, I am not a technophobe. I just didn't grow up with the technology stuck to my ass. I can do math without a calculator, and can write in complete sentences. I know what pen and paper are for.

Oh, I also grew up with a modicum of manners that the younger generations seem to have not been taught.

I still find one unnamed person's contributions to this forum entertaining, informative, and a chance to try and educate them. I admit that some people refuse to be educated, and it's like talking to a wall.

But no offense.

Damn - it was pointed out that poor Molly has been deleted. I looked at her posts and got enjoyment, like the laugh riot I have every time I listen to a political show on TV, or any of talk radio. Ya wanna scream, but, dang, it it entertaining.

Oh well, so much for the cheap thrills. Buh-bye Molly!

Getting back to the topic...

Seems the feds are treating computers like luggage at the border, conducting searches without reasonable suspicion or a warrant.

Details.

Not surprisingly, the federal Ninth Circuit appellate court has taken a dim view of this approach:

Details.

Because there's nothing legal that could be on your phone that a cop might take offense to, right? It wasn't that long ago that I spent my one and only night in jail. For being a "nig**r lover", because a MI trooper didn't like the photo of the young black woman in my wallet.
