They already do this actually.. there was a case where a mother googled a pressure cooker and the father was googling a back pack.. and some other crap.. FBI showed up at their house tearing through it.. this happened a month or two ago.. all I can say is have a good lawyer on standby and prepare yourself

This is bs! Most likely they already do it though and now it's just coming to light.

The govt took away every single freedom in the patriot act. They can accuse you of terrorism, throw you in jail indefinitely without seeing a lawyer or judge and not tell your family or community why you are detained because its a threat to nation security. Anything the government wants to do is in that paperwork they don't need warrants. And they even passed the national id act in the patriot act. Where they can set up check points at every state border and not let you pass through without the proper paperwork. Like the Nazi's use to do

It's a fucking shame, ain't it?!? Our country is in the shitter.

they are terming it legal based on a supreme court ruling in 1963:

Brady vs Maryland

To scorpion2bravo and others,
This basically means that the FBI wants Internet Service Providers (ISP) to, lets's say, bug their networks. This basically means that the FBI wants your: IP, your name and address (from ISP records), the website you visited, the time at which you visted, how much data you exchanged, the name of the browser you used, your operating system, etc.

They probably do all that shit already so I'm not sure why they're asking permission now.

exactly what sarmanti said above - these port readers would have real-time (warrant less) access to all data going over the wires.
