      And I do not deny that the NSA story could be huge. I await further disclosures. @ggreenwald 's character is a separate issue.

      .@elroer What would you want the NSA to have done in the event of another 9/11? Imagine them having metadata but not using it: That ok?

          @SamHarrisOrg @travisrgriffin a seatbelt is a good idea as no balancing is ever entertained.

          @marctheiler In the beginning, everyone was aware of the trade offs. I know someone who refused to wear one until he rolled his car.

          @SamHarrisOrg The only way we will ever be significantly more safe is when we as a people have dissolved all uncritical frameworks. #NSA

          @SamHarrisOrg @elroer clearly they don't use the data for legitimate things they should be, otherwise Boston, new town, etc. avoidable.

          @robdshafer @elroer That seems a reckless conclusion. Something that is effective can still fail -- or people might neglect to use it.

          @SamHarrisOrg @elroer valid, but one would think with vast amounts of our purchases, trends, convos, etc they'd predict a bit more.
