My POV on this NSA circus.

The reason Edward Snowden himself has been made the distraction by the NSA is but for ONE SIMPLE reason.

Snowden has REVEALED to the American Public what is ALREADY UNCLASSIFIED information. He called attention to what was going on behind the curtain.

The NSA is ANGRY because the public was supposed to stay unaware and naive' enjoying their "bread & circuses" while the NSA infirnged on your Constitutional Rights. Snowden threw a turd into their punchbowl.

As my longtime friend, a very good Internet security expert, who posted the following told me directly after I stated to him via the phone
that "it appears you released MORE information than Edward Snowden:"

His response:

I wrote that days ago, but sat on it thinking about just that. The key is what I wrote is NOT classified information. It is freely available on telco specs, if you know where to look.

I'm not sure that matters to some people, but it is what it is.

This from an individual who is a former Emergency Response Engineer for Lucent Technologies.
He helped to construct part of the network he describes.

Read his full post for yourself if you want to know WHAT is going on with your cellphone RIGHT NOW and has been, long before Edward Snowden.:

Amen.

Much higher placed people are blowing the whistle on this now...and being largely igrnored while the Obama administration and the MSM try and keep the people focused on the Snowden portion of it.

Former Director of NSA Intelligence reveals the full extent of PRISM capabilities. MUST SEE!

Another William Benny interview about PRISM and the NSA

CALEA involves published standards out there for years. Nothing new there. CALEA involves supoenas and specific targets and data caoptured in realtime. Legal processes followed and used by FBI, sheriffs etc. Modern version of a wiretap authorized by a judge.

NSA scandal involved massive dumps of data on innocent people and not limited to targets. What all did they capture? Cell location data? Who had access to the data? They sucked in thousands of records.
