Tell me more.  If it is OT here, you can bring it to the NYLXS hangout
mailing list.

For what it's worth

A) - privacy is not one of the constitution guaranteed rights

B) - I personally couldn't care less if they are listening to
my phone as long as they are actually protecting me from being 
nuked

C) - What they would do with any information they get from me seriously
would worry me if it was being used inapropriately, especially for someone's
private gain.

D) - The current debate has been over wiretaps of international calls
THROUGH US systems, which really makes sense to me since SO MUCH of the
internation phone traffic goes through the US.  I don't see why the government
should need to put a wiretap in Islamabad if the traffic is going through
a US controlled satelite.

E) - I'm worried that they are wasting resources using too large of a "net"
Someone has to go through all those communications.  They'd need to be
targeted better than the NSA did during the Vietnam era when they just cast 
a larger and larger net without cause and wasting millions of dollars.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt.  I guess you missed that one."
