NSA mistakenly pulled records. Stories are coming out that this happened dozens of times. The problem with the program is no one is told when it happens. There is no oversight. It potential for abuse scares the hell out of me!
This NSA guy claims anyone can pulled records on a whim, I tend to believe him.
>> There is no oversight. It potential for abuse scares the hell out of me!
Indeed. And the Marxist scumbags will abuse, and possibly have abused, such potential.
I’m dubious about the notion that the NSA is an irresponsible operation that is inattentive to matters of privacy. No doubt the “browsers” exist, but there are ways to guard against that.
The silver lining here is awareness, and the understanding there should be an appropriate level of oversight. One might think Congress should be handling this, but DC is completely #ed up. A private sector consortium should exist for this purpose that includes equal representation of small to large concerns. Plenty of individuals have security clearance and the appreciation of liberty. It could be done.
