      You don’t understand data mining then? RT @SamHarrisOrg: .@samuelcowens No. But I'm not worried about data mining of billions of emails.

      .@MattJTwomey @samuelcowens Perhaps I should have said "metadata mining" -> reasonable suspicion -> court order -> legal eavesdropping.

          @SamHarrisOrg I suppose its the whole point. Past phone calls all we do online is now metadata. Texts, IMs, photos, blogs - nothing to fear!

          @SamHarrisOrg And has to be said. Am a huge Sam Harris fan. But huge data capture is not harmless. Data Mining is not an innocent act

          @MattJTwomey I agree. As Obama said -- there is a trade off between privacy and security. He seems to think the current law makes sense.

          @SamHarrisOrg It may make sense. But we have new info on what they do. It seems we en masse may not like this. Spoonful of sugar needed?!

          @SamHarrisOrg Sam, hasn't our expectation of data privacy really been on a long, steady decline inversely proportional to our tech boom?
