I thought they canceled that idea but then I read this

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - The Justice Department is forging ahead with establishing a network of domestic tipsters_despite being dealt what may be a deathly blow to the plan: House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, inserted last week a ban on the program in the bill to form a new Homeland Security Department.

Is it a good idea or not?

It's a horrible idea.

It?s just a way for the government to try and circumvent the 4th Amendment.

Of course they?ve already thrown the 6th Amendment out the window, at least in the case of Jose Padilla.

Gee, having an army of disgruntled, vindictive, low-brows passing "reliable" information to Federal investigators sounds like a great idea. Makes me feel all warm and cozy; think I'll re-read Orwell's "1984" just for sh!ts and giggles.
