Every American who has made/received an outsourced customer service call

[Firenze777]

is at risk of being classified as a security risk.

Do outsourced business calls from Pakistan or other Muslim nations get classified as possible terrorist calls for the Administration's purposes? So anyone who gets or makes a customer service call from Gateway, Dell, or a major credit card is now a target for wiretapping- think about it, it's just the kind of device they would use! Most Americans feel like they are 'safe' from this wiretapping abuse...they never make or receive international calls. But they do! This angle needs to be publicized in every way to make the public realize EVERYONE is vulnerable!

1. What about CALL ROUTING????

When circuits are busy in some areas, your calls can be routed through that northern hotbed of extremism, CANADA. So, say you call Grandma in Florida from Maine, but your call gets routed through Montreal....are you on the list, now?????

2. This is a good point that you make and one that I'm sure not many

people have thought of. This would include a lot of people who think they are not the target of this illegal activity. As for myself, I have accepted the possibility that anything I say or do online or over the phone has been monitored for no other reason than the fact that it can be done. The fact that Gonzalez, yesterday, kept making statements that he could only testify about the program being discussed makes me pretty sure that there are other spy programs that we aren't aware of. That's the reason they more interested in finding and prosecuting the leakers instead of addressing the illegal conduct of Bush and his administration.

3. Is that the real reason for the massive job offshoring?

To give the NSA and Bushco a license to invade Americans' privacy?
