When the NSA hires 1 million people to actually shift through each phone call 1 by 1, I'll get riled... As it is, computer programs that shift through data, looking for connections to terrorists don't worry me.
The only reason the government would want people to look at every single record is to be nosy. But using machines to filter, sieve, and analyze the same data is merely efficient use of resources. And machines don't get sidetracked, don't care if the call from your cell phone was to a mistress and not your wife, and it doesn't sound as if the information being tracked, gathered, and analyzed is particularly violating, and is certainly not violating if it is only a machine shifting through it and dismissing it unless it meets some kind of "profile" that gets if flagged.

What is wrong with connecting the dots?
If Bush didn't do this and we were attacked again, Bush would be accused of not putting forth the effort to connect the dots and find out about future attackes.

The only thing wrong is the sniveling Nancy boys "worried" about phone calls instead of suicidal Muslims blowing up our children on a bus or in a mall.
Where have all the men gone?

If you can't answer the question that's okay. Just let me know so I won't keep checking back.

To: Echo Talon
...echelon does alot more than just get a phone #...
So Echelon is a much more invasive system?
Funny how nobody bothered to holler out when it was implemented.
To: philman_36
Hell yea it's more invasive!
