I find it sad and slightly amusing that Americans outrage at certain things, and then just end up shrugging it off saying "hey they've done worse" or "this has been going on for year now its official so what"

being stripped of all of your privacy slowly but surly for the past 100 years, seems ot have gone a bit nuts in the past 10 years thanks to evil computers and dah internetz

What I find silly about all this big brother crap is they try to make it sound like they are somehow gonna
stop/hinder/catch people doing something with all this ease dropping non-sense. I'm pretty skeptical
that they can in any significant way catch people of even a moderate intelligence with some kind of
clandestine ease dropping technology. Seriously there are people in jail running criminal enterprises,
happens all the time.

What should be done is a blind case study.

You take 1000 random people. They are allowed 1 face to face meeting to coordinate. 500 of them are
fakes who do nothing and the other 500 will try to get messages to each other, over distance.

I would guarantee they could communicate effectively and you wouldn't have the foggiest idea what
the hell they were talking about if they really tried.

I am not sure where you get this. Most of the outrage is about the guy leaking the facts that show that the US does use espionage to get things done, not that the US actually utilizes espionage.

What you see in this thread is that many are debating if it is feasible to stop it.... which it is not because it is part of the system no matter the government which is in question.

So it turns out someone accused of a bank robbery in the US has requested the NSA logs of his phone to prove he wasn't there.

Well damn the Pandora's box has been opened Big smile
