I know it’s not secure from Obama and other supposedly elected would-be tyrants.

Guess what folks?
Places like NSA are full of spies and are targeted by spies.
It always will be.

The NSA is merely collating data for ChiComs.

It’s only secure if you don’t hire a high-school drop out, or a community college drop-out, or a Army drop-out.

Hasan, and the Tsarnaev brothers, and
everyone named Mohammed, love the NSA system.
No word yet if the Moslem Brotherhood has to visit
or if their remote terminal was already installed.

Pretty much. We have the world’s dumbest government.

This puzzled me tremendously, why would Google, with its enormous brain trust of the world's top computer experts call on the NSA? Why didn't Google have the means, the expertise, to deal with this problem directly and solely? Perhaps Goggle was phishing NSA.

I love bacon and China just bought Smithfield. I’m pretty sure NSA records had something to do with that.

I think they do a better job than most - though that's not saying much when you look at how negligently sloppy most government agencies are. And therein lies the crux, they are still a government agency, prone to all the bureaucratic BS and stupidity that implies. I would no-more trust a government agency with my personal info than I would the pimple-faced kid down at the 7-eleven with my credit card.
I know we have to turn over personal info for taxes etc. Doesn't mean I like it. Used to be I was mostly concerned with just accidental stupid actions compromising my information. Now with hussein and his minions in there, and the rampant scandals and obviously illegal behavior... I'd have to say my concerns are now about 50-50 accidental compromise or intentional misuse. The intentional misuse side is continually rising...

NSA undoubtedly has a lot of great people in it.
Problems I see:
* Unconstitutional requests being made of them.
* Possible politicization in the agency like IRS and rest of gov’t.
* Scope way too big.
* Agency way too big.
* Strategies and tactics over the top
* It’s a DOD agency, it should operate in the military realm.
* “Financial oligarchy” is the root of almost all current government problems, e.g., spending, debt, overreach/control/power
* Difficult to rationalize NSA existence after Cold War.
* “Financial oligarchy” undoubtedly the root of “terrorism” as a partial replacement for the now “deconstructed” USSR as the “villain”.
Etc.
IMHO.

There are some stiff laws on notifying people when a data security breach occurs. These laws have been extended from financial institutions to most businesses that have highly important personal data.
I keep wondering how many TurboTax E-filings were intercepted by the NSA and if TurboTax has notified people that sensitive financial data has been intercepted during a data breach?
I think that the class action law suits should be filed with a big net and include the federal government as an additional party. My feeling is that if enough corporations get hauled into court for a variety of infractions (failure to provide notice under data security breach laws, etc.) that the pressure on the government to reign in NSA will increase astronomically.
If nothing else, there is going to be a huge foreign backlash and this may be the death knell of cloud computing and cloud storage.
