Had Another Thought About NSA Spying On Supposedly Foreign... |
|
phone calls. Now that we've outsourced many help desks and telephone customer service overseas to places like India - do you think all those calls were tapped. I know when I call my computer company, cable company, etc - the calls are taken in India.

7. Not The Point I Was Making - I Actually Think It Is Quite Humorous.... |

that we outsource all these customer service telecommunications overseas and then get the NSA to monitor all overseas calls. Seems like a lot of busywork. Actually this makes it harder to find calls that might be terrorist related - because of all the innocuous service type calls.

They pay someone to listen in to cable and iSP customer service calls? Can you imagine having that job? Oh! the humanity!

6. Not only that, one of the large telecommunications |
|
companies (I think ComCast) was sued by ATT for running domestic calls through Canada and ATT had to pick up some of the cost. By running calls through Canada, they became international calls. I don't have the link to the article about the suit anymore.
