BIG BROTHER, AGAIN
To the Editor:
I was surprised to read an April 19 letter writer say he had no objection
to Amtrak's providing the Drug Enforcement Administration with information
about its passengers because he had "nothing to hide." Presumably, that
letter writer would also not object to being stopped and searched by a
police officer on the street or to a warrantless search of his house. Does
he also suspect that those who would object have something to hide?
