Well, as General Alexander said during Wednesday's keynote at Blackhat, all of this homegrown surveillance is to protect our freedom.
Of course, at that point one member of the estimated 15,000 in the audience shouted BULLSHIT! loud enough for us all to hear. And when the General said that we (the NSA) were protecting you (us, the audience) from Al Queda attacks, that same guy shouted back, "THEY'RE ATTACKING US BECAUSE WE'RE BOMBING THEM!" And then things proceeded to get a bit lively. -Doug On Aug 1, 2013 7:28 PM, "Roger Critchlow" <[email protected]> wrote: > Aha, an even less satisfying explanation: > > > http://gawker.com/how-a-paranoid-blogger-made-everyone-scared-to-google-p-992804224 > > Dad's home because he recently left his previous job, and his search > history on his work computer contained backpacks and pressure cookers, so > his previous employer reported him as suspicious to the local cops. > > -- rec -- > > > On Thu, Aug 1, 2013 at 5:04 PM, Marcus G.
