Delegates in Maryland’s legislature are making an irresponsible decision. They’re putting national security ahead of individual privacy, expanding the government’s eavesdropping powers. The comments of one lawmaker, Del. Dana Lee Dembrow, are particularly irresponsible. She said, "I realize that this bill basically says you can tap someone’s phone for jaywalking, and normally I would say, ‘No way.’ But after what happened on September 11th, I say screw ‘em."
