whenever you are forced to do something to comply with a law, it could be made public [...] That way, the Big Brothers cannot completely hide their actions and intentions.

Dear me---I'm sure you reside somewhere outside the Land of the Free.

We can't tell anyone about FBI requests for information, which should be called ``warrants'' and only issued by a judge on evidence of probable cause. It sez here right in the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution.

Alternatively, they can get a warrant, but not tell you about it. This allows the FBI to break into your house, office, rectum, ..., to see what they can see, without actually serving the warrant. See aforementioned Fourth Amendment.

[T]he Bill of Rights [is] all limitation---[it states] what the federal government cannot do. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court treats the Bill of Rights as a list of suggestions from a bunch of hippies.
