As I recall, there used to be a valley full of radio receiver dishes in West Virginia. I imagine the technology has evolved. These receivers picked up telephone microwave emissions from everywhere then sent the signals to a series of super computers in Fort Belvoir or somewhere like that. The news media would periodically do stories on all this. This was during the Cold War but part of what they monitored was in the U.S.

At Fort Geroge Meade in MD there are acres of supercomputers that NSA uses to sniff out key items in all different communications channels, one end outside the US sometimes both ends outside the US. This has been going on for decades and has been used by ALL PRESIDENTS to spy on folk who desire to destroy the USA (with the exception of the Left and MSM). Microwaves are intercepted as well as satellite paths. Remote interception stations are all around the globe and in space. Old wireline stuff was being intercepted back in the Western Union days, when the Government would come around to RCA and pick up "the package". Read James Bamfords "The Puzzel Palace" if interested in the NSA side of it. I am sure the USArmy, and others do some to a limited extent also, but nothing to the extent of the NSA. The NSA used to be the largest purchaser of the most powerful supercomputers in existence.

We better cancel SETI...they will say Bush spies on ET's.
