US Senators Concerned With Surveillance Bill "Loophole"
zer0point writes "The law lets U.S. agencies monitor the communications of foreigners outside the U.S. But two senators are questioning whether a loophole allows the storage and search of messages from Americans that are picked up inadvertently while foreigners are being monitored. The intelligence community has repeatedly said it takes steps to minimize the data collected on Americans. Among the senators’ concerns: that the administration hasn’t been able to estimate how many people in the U.S. have had their information reviewed under the program."
You underestimate the apathy of the average citizen. Or overestimate their intelligence. It is hard to tell them apart sometimes.
This is to protect the children from the terrorists. The government said so. They even nudged me and winked, so I know it is true.

No problem. I am not concerned with the rights of Americans, e.g. I feel free to ignore their copyrights.
The government wants to know what you think of it so it can help you more.
It's being a caring big brother, see.
