First in the nation.
On Monday, an Arizona state senate committee became the first legislative body in the country to pass a bill designed to thwart surveillance programs from the National Security Agency (NSA).

The bill faced its first hurdle today, with an important hearing and vote in the Senate’s Government and Environment committee, where it required passage by majority vote to move forward.

No....However, I would be yelling that profiling and simple risk analysis has always and will always work.
Yeah, this the same NSA that missed the Boston Bombers who were traveling to moslem terror zones and posting jihadi Youtube videos? The same NSA that couldn’t catch Major Hassan, the Fort Hood jihadi, when he was openly sending emails to Al Qeida leader Anwar al-Awlaki?
Is that the same NSA you think WE are putting blinders on? lol
They don’t need blinders to miss stuff. See Boston Marathon 2013.
The biggest traitor is their own Sinator Juan McAmnesty.
