(62,325 posts)single person, and 'storing' for just such an event, to 'protect' the American people, and I forget the convoluted reasoning they they gave about it works when they need it? How long has it been now, a week?
But as we found out this week, they have not caught ONE single terrorist with all their spying.
Maybe they should focus on criminals like the Boston Bomber who should have stood out like a sore thumb instead of innocent people going about their daily lives.
But then I've always suspected that all this 'data mining' is really for the Big Corps, who got the tax payers to pay billions so they could study people's shopping preferences etc and then target them with their products. It's clever, to use 'terror' for everything, if you can get away with it. And they have, so far.
