You will never be sure they’re not doing ongoing data collection. Regardless of what the supreme court decides.

Most people I talk to think the Patriot Act wasn’t the beggining of this.

All the Patriot Act did was make their ongoing data collection activities legal.

They’ve probably got dossiers on all of us since the 1950’s. At least. The development of digital technology just made it easier for them to do it.

I’d like to know what dossiers they have on minor children. And why.

More like the recognition of legitimacy necessary for prosecution. But whatever preceded the visibility wasn’t necessarily illegal but probably not admissible.

I used to collect foreign voice messages for the U.S.Navy. Any decryption was performed at NSA. We were forbidden - BY LAW - from listening or copying any telephone or radio messages that involved Americans. To do so was punishable by Courts Martial.

I served between 1980 - 1986.

Don’t be so paranoid, Agnes.

When I was in school, my professor told me that by being a Chemical Engineer we were sure to have at least a file at some agency.

I can support this suet. Of course to many here on FR questioning the need for the blanket wire taps is viewed as treason and worthy of death, but so be it.
