Lol, looks like america is blind. They're not spying for 'terrorism' they are spying for EVERYTHING. Your games, internet, video's, what you're doing. Etc.

To open up your eyes: Are you really sure the Belgium Internet company is a terrorism organsation? They installed a backdoor, to spy there... Everything, logs of internet, who you're calling. Eyes opened?

I for one welcome our new alien overlords.

*Cue X-Files Theme*

What's this I hear about posts? 

And the NSA is why I love 'Murica

heres a pic of a camera I took while I was sitting at an intersection...no its not a traffic camera its one of those cameras they have in malls....no our country is not becoming a police state our government is just protecting us the nsa spying is just harmless and the ndaa bill is for the bad guys :rollseyes:

Lots of intersections have those cameras for security reasons. Would you rather have somebody murdered with no footage of them and they are on the loose? Or would you rather have that camera there with footage of the murderer which helps catch them and stop them from murderizing other people? They also use them for traffic control. Lots of big cities nowadays use an electronic traffic control system so the department of transportation can remotely control traffic so it can be efficient without putting somebody on the road.

 

I'm no terrorist, so I don't have to worry that some top secret government agency is watching me. When I was in New York it was a blast when I bought with my friends 15kg of ice-cream. It was a true calorie bomb! I also bought an AK-47 replica and an package of seal figurines in a shop near Times Square with my credit card. Too bad I missed X-files, I heard that Scully was kidnapped.

Some of the words on that list though...I hope that my red-head fetish porno isn't found by Bubba the Love Sponge and my chameleon doesn't freeze from this arctic weather! It's really cold! 

Oh the madness. Not shopping mall cameras.

Next thing you know, they'll be Cinnabons on street corners.

Cause you know, the chances are the camera was installed to track everyones movements not by the DOT to watch the traffic flow through what looks like a major intersection....

Didn't ya'll see the new member name NSA??

Oh crap, a camera in a public place! Everybody hide!

If the NSA is spying to prevent terrorism, could some one please explain to me how 9/11 and the Boston bombings occurred under the radar of the government? Either the purpose of the NSA isn't for preventing terrorism, or its complete failures are grounds for ending the funding of it.

The purpose of the NSA is to gather signals intelligence for the Department of Defense (in fact, it falls under the DoD, and the director is always a military officer), and to secure US communications against other countries' intelligence agencies. It is an intelligence agency. Remember when they hacked into Angela Merkel's phone? That's the sort of thing they were created to do - gather intelligence about other countries.

On the offensive end, they have the same sort of job as the CIA, except that the CIA handles human intelligence while the NSA handles signals intelligence. On the defensive end, they create and test cryptography and information security standards for the government, as well as providing cryptography standards for US interests and the private sector (note: building in a backdoor that only they can access doesn't mean they're not doing their job there - the point isn't to make it so they can't read it, it's to make it so other governments can't). They also have large amounts of resources devoted to breaking and making cryptography - the NSA is the world's largest employer of mathematicians, and it's not at all unusual for, say, a math professor to have worked there as a visitor for a sabbatical, or for undergrads to do research there.

The notion that the entire US defense apparatus should focus on terrorism started on 9/11. Before that, the FBI mostly handled white-collar crime, DHS's components were under various Cabinet agencies (Secret Service was under Treasury, Coast Guard was under Transportation, INS was under Justice, etc.), airport security was handled by companies contracted by airports or airlines (not by the federal government), federal buildings were generally open to the public, photography wasn't considered "suspicious", etc.

Furthermore, the idea that two terrorist incidents means that the NSA has completely failed is, to put it bluntly, absolutely ridiculous. Seriously. A), that's not the NSA's main job. B), by being sufficiently cautious in communications, the NSA has no idea what you're doing. C), before 9/11, the NSA (and all foreign intelligence agencies) were not allowed to share info with the FBI and law enforcement agencies without jumping through around 9,000 hoops. They put that into place specifically to prevent what's happening now; the idea was that foreign intelligence agencies shouldn't spy within the US (unlike, say, the KGB). Also, failures are inherently higher-profile than successes. If you watch the news closely, most terrorist plots end with the FBI arresting those involved before anything happens, because most people offering bombs to terrorists are undercover FBI agents (just like most people offering hitman services to strangers are actually undercover cops). Potential terrorist plots that end up with the people involved being arrested don't make nearly as big a splash as really, really small-scale attacks that come off (and you can't say the Boston bombing was a major attack - major response != major attack, and the fewer people involved, the harder it is to stop).

On Topic:

C'mon... The NSA. Really? I think you have much better things to worry about in your life than the NSA.

 

 

 

 

 

Off Topic:

We used to have a beast of a server at a datacentre in South Gyle in Edinburgh, but then Jay shared his energy drinks with it so we had to move :(

RIP server at a datacentre in South Gyle in Edinburgh... You will be missed.

The pre-9/11 intelligence wasn't taken seriously enough, as far as I can tell. And the Boston Marathon bombing we had very little intelligence on, other than a report from Moscow, Russia saying that they didn't like the two kids and thought they were dangerous, but didn't have any actual evidence to help convict them of a crime.

People are so busy talking about how America is becoming a police state, and also saying that our government doesn't do squat. Lemme clue some folks on this website into something: America would be a police state if we started arresting random foreigners for being suspicious and nothing more. That's what it would have taken to prevent 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombings. We don't do that. Instead, our security agencies have to play it like the police do, and try to work within the boundaries of the law. And therefore, they can take no action unless they can convict someone of a crime. Our government is now working to re-write the laws to allow for more intrusion into things we regard as private, and I can understand that's unnerving. But I've always maintained that you can't have both absolute freedom, and absolute security. It will either be 100% of one and none of the other, or a dull mixture of the two, which is what most first world countries have now. We can either learn to deal with it, or move someplace else. That's all there is to it.

And I agree with cp702 about the U.S. government's efforts. The news reports tell people about the things they failed to prevent. You never hear about what they achieved. There's a quote I'll always remember from the movie 'The Recruit', which is about the C.I.A. One of the teachers at "The Farm" where C.I.A. agents are made said:

"Our failures are known, our successes are not."

This is the way of life for many government agents; police, intelligence, military, or otherwise.
