Isn’t it interesting how someone can acquire just enough technical jargon to say something really, abysmally stupid about technology? One of my current favorites is the 3-minute battery recharge - the amount of current required would turn the car into a puddle of molten metal.

Seems technically impossible to me, but I dunno.

I’ll defer to those who actually know something about the technology.

So far the thread seems to be 3-0 against the technical feasibility of this claimed intrusion.

Old news, from May 2006

Wonder why it’s being rehashed now.

(He’s also an ex-employee - anyone know if the parting w/ AT&T was mutual?)

Only one of those men can be telling the truth.

But I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. Copying all data? No way. Loading pen traces and email addresses into a big data wharehousing system to tie phone numbers and email addresses to terrorists? Quite possible. That lets our government know who they should be paying attention to.

And while we’re at it, why is it legal for Google to cherry pick anything it wants from the internet, but not legal for our government to trace terrorists messages to each other?

Go ahead, type your name into Google. You’ll probably find messages on one site or another that you don’t even remember posting.

As far as I know, Google doesn't search Outlook or Outlook Express or Thunderbird mail files, etc, on your personal hard drive, just web sites.

I have a very close relative who is involved with intel gathering. Some of what the post says is true. While I am not privy to secrets, I’m told they don’t store them for any length of time, everything is passed through filters. They are searching for words, phrases, hints, etc of impending attacks, and other nefarious actions that would harm our Country.

If something happened that we could have prevented, and we found out it could have been prevented by using technological means, I would be among the first to raise hell about it. Who wouldn’t?

I ain’t got nuttin’ to hide, and if I did, I would hide it!
