what do Americans think about the NSA scandal

[kandrathe]

Anyway, to the point, the only thing that surprises me is that people are surprised. I think the majority of Americans just figured that this couldn't or wouldn't be done, while anyone with a technical background likely expected this from the start because it's not hard to do if you have the resources. And the government has the resources...

I figured that they were watching ME. Mostly due to my vast internationalization and known associates. I was even stopped once by Swedish government agents who thought I might be smuggling butter in from Norway.

But, I didn't think they'd be watching everyone.

I've been wearing the tinfoil hat for over a decade since they "claimed" Trailblazer "It ran over budget, failed to accomplish critical goals, and was cancelled."

Treadstone? No, no, that was a trial project that we've cancelled. Now, about Blackbriar...
