US Gov Suing Sprint for Overcharging for Domestic Surveillance Access

Apparently Sprint sold access to the NSA, DEA, FBI, ATF & ICE. But it was just metadata, so all you civil liberty whiners should STFU. Privacy doesn't apply to who you contact and when -- that info belongs to the corporations & government. If you want real privacy, build your own wireless network. Please pay no attention to the man behind the curtain and return to arguing about swimsuit models.

Sprint charges EXTRA for not telling anyone about the contract spying they do.

I suggest the NSA actually READ the fine print of the contract. How many people lock into plans and later regret it?
