NSA surveillance program reaches ‘into the past’ to retrieve, replay phone calls – The Washington Post

Hi Folks,

Been a while, hope you’re following my posts on twitter, drsandyr.

Had to say a few things about this recent revelation.

Are we shocked, really?

As Bruce Schneier, the leading ubergeek  on privacy and  security, says, it’s not surprising that this is being done, unfortunately’,”What’s interesting is that the capability exists to collect 100% of a country’s telephone calls, and the analysis tools are in place to search them.”

Indeed, and how good are these tools or is this disinformation?



Its ironic that when everyone is using free services, telling everyone what they read, watch, etc, that we are surprised by this, time to wake up to the nightmare.

During the Bush years this was the Total Awareness Network, TAN, and was supposedly unfunded.
Guess it was privatized, but isn’t Raytheon a defense contractor. RIOT what a good name?
These techies have a sense of humor.All it does is scoop up info and sort out the terrorists , kind of like fishing for Tuna and catching Dolphins, that works well too.
Sounds harmless Rapid Information Overlay Technology (RIOT),just a new technogame right!
