From telephone andinternet peeping, to airline profiling to new xrays at airports that expose bodies, to health, medical and banking records being exposed, to workplace computer spying, national i.d. cards with scanners, no foreign travel without government permission. The list goes on and nobody's complaining.
Can Senators restore the right to privacy?

My God people, where did you get the idea that you suddenly have no freedom and no privacy???? There is very very little of "you" being looked at by big brother, the FBI, the CIA, etc.
Only certain people who exhibit "probable cause" are looked at. The rest of America is still very FREE to operate sham corporations, conceal cash, do forgery, whatever.
PRIVACY LAWS ARE ALIVE AND WELL.

Thank you very much for such good Question!
If only 10% of Americans were thinking like you, it was impossible that BUSH be able to perform such crimes against everybody in the name of 'security'.
USA one day was a dream of every free man in the World to immigrate and live in FREEDOM!
Today, millions people around the World they do not like to visit USA as tourists due to all these breaches of FREEDOMS and PRIVACY by FBI, CIA, CUSTOM and other agencies.
We are shocked how Americans have accepted such CONTEMPT in the name of 'security'.
Freedoms value is much higher than our lives. IT was for FREEDOM that hundred millions people around the World have lost their lives.
IT was for FREEDOM that hundred millions innocent people around the World were arrested by the oppressive governments like IRAN, and tortured and killed in the jails.
FREEDOM has 'respect' & 'honor', 'dignity' & 'integrity' when it has breached Outrageously by Bush's Governments, then is is VERY hard that 'even if Senators restore it' be as respectful as it was in the Name of American in the History.

Bush is ignoring the constitution. Our rights are slowly being chipped away. I'm glad other people are concerned about it, too. We need a change in leadership.

Sonkysst said it all in a nutshell. It could be changed, but given the global climate, it would be a foolish thing to do.

I came across a good series on essays regarding this development. You may also want to read up on authoritarianism.

Yes they can restore it. The point behind the survellance of all citizens is Consider the following:
There are over 1.1 billion Muslims worldwide. According to conservative estimates, at least 10% or 110 million are radicalized and sworn to our death and destruction.
Islamic religious leaders granted Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda the right to kill up to 10 million Americans. Experts agree that plans are in the works for catastrophic attacks involving weapons of mass destruction. Yet, our ultra politically correct policies prohibit racial profiling and other effective measures that should be employed by law enforcement agencies to protect us.
Over 90% of American Mosques are Saudi funded and tainted by Wahabbi doctrine. Hate-inspired anti-American messages and literature are shared with their hungry audiences on our own soil.
American institutions of higher learning like Harvard, Georgetown and many others have received multi-million dollar gifts from Saudi Arabians - funds being used to purchase influence and capture the minds of our youth.
On an annual basis, tens of thousands of prisoners are being converted to Islam in our penal institutions. Upon release, many of these same felons are recruited into a standing army awaiting marching orders.
Terrorist training facilities continue to operate freely within our borders.
Muslim Students Associations (MSA's), Islamic centers and Mosques across America and Canada sponsor paintball outings and promote survival skills. Paintball, in itself, may be a harmless sport but one must consider ulterior motives since the MSA's also benefit from Saudi funding. The National MSA's online publication promotes firearms training with the following quote that they attribute to Mohammed, "Power is shooting, power is shooting, power is shooting". They also recommend to Muslim students that paintball is an excellent way to learn about combat. Why would a college-based, religious organization advocate sharpening combat skills?
Despite its dark history and terrorist ties, CAIR (the Council of America-Islamic Relations) continues to exert tremendous influence in Washington. Their propaganda machine is supported by multi-million dollar donations from Saudi Arabia.
In the words of CAIR's Chairman, Omar Ahmad, "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to be dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."
CAIR continues to host regional conferences for thousands of Muslims nationwide. Keynote Speakers include the likes of Siraj Wahhaj. According to the U.S. Attorney's office, Wahhaj is the un-indicted co-conspirator of the 1993 WorldTradeCenter bombing.
Our enemies are forthright when voicing their intentions to establish a caliphate and deliver the entire world to Allah. We are the ones who refuse to accept the fact that they mean business, so we continue to live in a state of lethal denial.
Over 6,300 Muslim-inspired terrorist attacks have taken place worldwide since 9/11, and jihadists have threatened even the Pope’s life. Why do our leaders in Washington continue to refer to Islam as a religion of peace?
The future of America is in grave peril. Silent are the voices of those patriots who stand proud while paying homage to our nation's fallen servicemen on Memorial Day.
Absent are the statesmen of a by-gone era when men served their nation with dignity and upheld their oaths to preserve the constitution.
We are currently engaged in fighting a war for our very survival against a cunning, ruthless and implacable enemy - an enemy that is skilled in using against us the rights guaranteed by our own Constitution.
