Human Rights Abuse in the USA
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/10/fbi-tracking-device/all/1
Well, I guess this answers the question of whether the FBI is still illegally spying on American citizens.
This week, a California college student named Yasir Afifi found a battery-powered tracking device on his car. His friend thought it was suspicious, and posted a picture of it online. Two days later, the FBI showed up at his house to collect the device that they claimed was "expensive." As Brian Alseth from the ACLU puts it, "It seems very frightening that the FBI have placed a surveillance-tracking device on the car of a 20-year-old American citizen who has done nothing more than being half-Egyptian."
