ACLU link --

The lawsuit charges that the government targeted Mr. House solely on the basis of his lawful association with the Bradley Manning Support Network when it seized Mr. House's laptop, USB drive and camera, and proceeded to copy and possibly disseminate their contents.

On November 3, 2010, Department of Homeland Security agents at O'Hare International Airport detained Mr. House for questioning upon his return from a trip to Mexico. While detaining Mr. House, agents asked him about his involvement with the Support Network, and confiscated his property. The detention and search of these electronic devices were not authorized by law and violated the First and Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

"The government does not have the authority to demand information about whom you spend time with or what you talk about. We need safeguards to ensure that targeting of people based on their political associations does not continue."

In November 2010, DHS agents stopped House at O'Hare International Airport as he returned from a vacation in Mexico and questioned him about his political activities and beliefs.

one of the most dangerous issues --

Wiretapping, eavesdropping -- and Torture -- just what is our government getting ready for?
