The program is designed to look for indicators of cyber attacks by digging into all Internet communications, including the contents of emails, according to the declassified summary.

Homeland Security will then strip out identifying information and pass along data on new threats to NSA. It will also use threat information from NSA to better identify emerging cyber attacks.

The descent into 3rd world tyranny continues unabated.

ECHELON

Haven't heard that one in a while. John Poindexter is apparently still alive and well.

It doesn't matter. For any encryption you might use, the gubment either has the keys or can break it. I wouldn't bet on that. (Some of us know a bit about cryptology.)

[Drill Thrawl]

Not doubting your mad skillz, but I’ll bet the NSA knows more.

Yeah,but with Echolon, they did it legally.

The British monitored our traffic and we monitored theirs, then we ‘exchanged’ info.

Worked pretty good for a long time.

Those are the same people who said they would leave the country if Bush got elected.

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean there aren't people out to get you...:)

wow..scary.

[Still Thinking]

Once they have this program in place anything that goes wrong will be blamed on Schmidt and he will be stuffed under the bus with all of the other detritus.

Bammy's gonna need a bigger bus soon. Maybe monster truck style with giant A/V (All Victim) tires the size of a house!
