Revealed: NSA collecting phone records of millions of Americans daily

“Revealed: NSA collecting phone records of millions of Americans daily”

So, if I’m reading this correctly, Verizon was ordered to turn over data on all telephone calls between April 25 and July 19.

…Shit… :secret:

AT&T has been at it for years. It would be safe to assume all electronic comms are being monitored.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.

The left is quite upset about this.

But they are still trying to dismiss all the scandals that don’t directly involve THEM.

This is disturbing.

Well I guess if I get “disappeared” you guys will know why.

This is ridiculous.

This guy warned about this 7 months ago.

Tyrants.

My guess is that the NSA has done what it pleased for decades.

Recently I read a spook equipment catalog for l.e. agencies. They can buy stuff that pulls call data from the air so to speak and not just data from cell towers. My wife was a grant writer, and I had access to some neat literature that vendors sent in. Spooky. Of course, we all know that cell phones offer no privacy.

“If you haven’t done anything wrong you don’t have anything to worry about”

idiots.

I like the “It’s for your safety” line better.

Dam gubment

If it is being transmitted it is being monitored - the internet, cell phones, txt, email, WiFi, all of it. It has been happening for some years now. It started under Clinton and continues to this day.

Of course, why would an innocent person have anything to fear?..

Oh, and Ron Paul is a kook, and possibly a racist.

and the FBI demands software be made “listenable”

But - "If you’ve done nothing wrong, then you should have nothing to fear or hide" - right? Sort of like DNA testing upon arrest.

Just don’t stand too close to some guy you’ve never met who is actually a key leadership member of an obscure white supremacist terror organization when they decide to Hellfire his (or her) ass…

Your above statement isn’t congruent with your stance/typical posts on these subjects Pat.

Why would you care if NSA is monitoring your calls/transmissions- it will help solve crime- it’s just another tool for LEO’s to use to catch bad guys…

You don’t have anything to hide now do you?

So what disturbs you about this specifically?

Mining all of the citizens electronic information will inevitably lead to higher arrest rates for criminal activity- so why are you AGAINST this, but FOR just about every other type of intrusive intiative similar to this?

-In case you think I am being snarky or it comes off that way over the interwebs- I am not, I am being dead serious based on your posts/stance in the past regarding these types of infringments of our rights; and I mean no disrespect whatsoever.

Thanks.

Lol Bam!

I knew we’d agree on something someday. :wink:
