The left went bonkers when they learned intelligence agents might look at public library records of suspected terrorists &amp;ndash; or worse yet, wiretap suspected terrorists who were calling overseas. Bonkers doesn\u2019t even come close to their reaction over the use of &#8220;warrantless wiretaps&#8221; to foil imminent terrorist plots.<\/p>\n<p>These days, there\u2019s no fuss over government monitors. In Maryland, several jurisdictions are bugging citizens\u2019 recycling bins. True story. Fredrick, Howard, and Gaithersburg counties have purchased 150,000 bins with embedded microchips. The chips allow county officials to monitor how often residents put their recyclables out for pickup. It doesn\u2019t yet monitor what is being recycled, or how much, but this scheme is in the early stages. Maryland isn\u2019t alone. Several northern Virginia governments are also snooping on their residents\u2019 recycling habits.<\/p>\n<p>And government snoops aren\u2019t stopping at your garbage. There\u2019s a big push underway for the public utility companies to put &#8220;smart meters&#8221; in your house &amp;ndash; which will allow your energy use to be monitored and, at some point in the future, perhaps controlled.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the left isn\u2019t at all concerned about your privacy and civil liberties being &#8220;encroached&#8221; upon by these new environmental spies. It\u2019s for your own good! And besides &amp;hellip; they\u2019re in charge of it!<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: ECO-Spies!May 17, 2010Watch It!
