Online sales tax to be added to NDAA

http://www.forbes.com

http://www.ft.com

Surveillance means safety. This is the argument wherever and whenever governments seek new powers to monitor their citizens. Proposed legislation in the UK to enable police and intelligence services to access emails, Skype calls and Facebook messages is another such example.
