Of course, that also means you and I talk to people who aren't VERY BAD PEOPLE who get targeted by SIGINT. So we get sucked up too.
-
If you're Muslim or Chinese American chances you get spied on for talking to people who aren't VERY BAD PEOPLE much higher than for, say, me
-
No, you get spied on because you're you.
-
Well, sure. But you know what I mean.

Of course not - they protect us - I think most know that
-
You must have misunderstood. My point is MUCH SIGINT doesn't "protect" us.

Yeah - I'm lost - thought SIGINT acronym for IC branch - not good at this

SIGINT is the kind of collection. Both NSA and FBI might be involved in stuff affecting US persons, CIA less so.
-
Got it. Thanks. R you saying don't get hopes up on significance of Trump surveillance b/c might be of casual variety?
-
Yes. Precisely. It sounds like it was interesting from intel perspective but prolly not corruption one.
-
I'm a pretty realistic person and would normally say "nothing there" if not for the sheer tidal wave of obfuscation
-
There's a whole lot of smoke AND the obfuscation, yes.

6 degrees of separation. Maybe less through social media. Everyone is or knows a troublemaker.
-
if a degree of separation constitutes probable cause, that would explain NSA and CIAs mass surveillance operations.

Except all the liberty has been sacrificed, and no security has been gained We're like pigs in too small cages

in a sense, knowledge is power. And in a capitalist oligarchy, corporations own that power.

I imagine it is because I'm not a middle-aged intellectually-disabled virgin. That's my theory.

@AmbientUXr and Tom Vucic has blocked me again. That's 3 hours of backfired attempted trolling. That must be a new record.
