what do you think of this US government agency?

Question

the NSA. have you ever heard of that agency? it stands for:
National Security Agency
No Such Agency
Never Say Anything

the first one being the real thing. the NSA gathers information that America's adversaries wish to keep secret, protect America's vital national security information and systems from theft or damage by others.

i copied that from there FAQ page.
so, they pretty much read the secret encrypted data people don't want them to read. it's like the Orwellian society in the book "1984".

do you think that one day, we will have cameras everywhere and people watching everyone at all times? Big Brother is watching us.

do you think the NSA has a right to tap any phone call and email they want?

i think they do. who knows how many times they have protected this country using the intel they gathered.

It's all digitalized and computerized so if you use certain words (like bomb, federal building, revolution, etc.) someone at the NSA will be listening and/or reading your statements to determine whether you were really planning something or whether I was just giving you examples of flag words.

Answer 1

Orwell's book was more of a satire (an exaggeration), than to be looked as reality.



it is highly unlikely that our minds will bend to think the way the government wishes.



NSA certainly has the right to tap any phone calls or emails they wish, there is no



question on that. That doen't necessary restrict anyone's civil liberties or



human rights. It does violate privacy, but it is not absolute. In other words, you have



the option not to use these service if you worried that someone is reading or



listening your personal information. But in reality it is not as personal because



to them, you are just one of the million people and they don't necessarily



know you. They are simply looking for information that might be threat to



the security of the nation. Having said that, it doesn't necessarily effect



your personal life. The only reason you might have something to hide is



that if you are doing something wrong. Period.

Answer 2
