Look up eschelon. It has been around since before 911. It was rumored that Clinton used it to give his big money donors business advantage by providing them with Company plans, Bids, etc and basically sold it to the highest donor.
There are even lists of words that the computer sweeps that will record your call if you mention them on the phone......
I will accept that you are merely uninformed rather than accusing me of working for the DNC.

I spent 20 years working with the NSA while in the Navy.....yes echelon exists, but you are smoking dope if you think the computer capacity exists in the world too record every phone call in U.S. that may elicit even one code word. Reality never seems to deter the tin foil hat crowd.
