So much for privacy on the Whole Wide World (Ed on TED)
Tiffanys:
NSA knew it was breaking its own spying rules
--- Quote ---The National Security Agency was well aware it was committing violations of surveillance rules, according to newly declassified documents. The NSA self-reported the violations to a US intelligence court, and promised to enact new safety measures to prevent the violations from recurring. Despite the acknowledgement, the NSA broke its own rules again in 2009, according to FISA Court documents. These revelations come after similar ones in September that the NSA broke its own rules and mislead the FISA Court regarding bulk data collection. RT's Ameera David has the reaction from the FISA Court that the NSA overstepped its boundaries and ignored privacy protections.

That's not a big surprise at this point. ;D

Hands up everyone who feels that the NSA must pay restitution to each and every individual and organization whose privacy they have illegally violated.
How about, say, $10 for each minute (or portion thereof) of surveillance, $100 for each frame or picture of video surveillance, $1000 for each legal business transaction, $100,000 for each trade secret or confidential business transaction.

I'd be satisfied if Congress completely defunded the NSA, disbanded it, and jailed the people who authorized the illegal surveillance.

I second the motion.
Has anyone thought how the NSA can listen to all phone calls and emails and basically everything, but that they can't catch any identity thieves? If they can't do that, what chance do they have of catching terrorists?
