The point isn't that they can do it.

The point is they want us to KNOW they are doing it.

Rather than have to actively control each and every one of us one-on-one, they want to induce FEAR and let us self-censor and control ourselves.

Induce FEAR to influence behavior.

Isn't that the very definition of TERRORISM?

That sums it up very well, null and void; as well, I have a hunch the F, the B, and the I and other so-called "national security" groups are trying to use these revelations as distractions for much deeper, much more inimical invasions of our privacy—or else they're the world's worst secret keepers.

Oh, by the way, what crony business organizations are President You Didn't Build That and his "administration" selling all this data to? Who benefits? Who pays? Who comes out furthest ahead by participating in the ever deepening corruption?

Null,

Very succinct explanation for what they are attempting. Perhaps a return to 18th/19th century communications efforts are in order. Was that a smoke signal or is someone barbequeing in Walnut Creek again? Black smoke, white smoke, phosphorous smoke, gun smoke. So many possibilities.
