      Mass surveillance was never classified to save lives. It was classified because the government knew if a real court ruled on it, they would declare it unconstitutional. Since 2013, they have.

      Skeptical? Here's what GCHQ said in top secret documents: [secrecy is required because...] "agency practices (ie the scale of interception and deletion) could lead to damaging public debate which might lead to legal challenges against the current regime."https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/oct/25/leaked-memos-gchq-mass-surveillance-secret-snowden …

          That sounds familiar.... when I lived in TN, there was a sting operation going down on human trafficking. It only made the news one night and we were told that they couldn't release the names of the people involved BECAUSE it would change the way Americans see America. Help out?

          Seems like the laws (UK, US, etc.) need a significant tweak to prevent abuse of information classification regimes. Specific methodologies? Fine, I get it. The entire program? Come on.

          What if the main reason why terrorism in USA is so rare is that Muslim fundamentalists realize it is counterproductive?

          Police shootings kill more people. Car accidents kill more than both combined. Media over-report terrorism and under-report the other 2.

          It's amazing how many people are still OK with being ruled by a bunch of traitors and high criminals. What's the difference between taxes and mafia extortion money? I am forced under threat of violence to finance mass murder.
