No Upper Bound On Phone Record Collection, Says NSA

PCWorld reports that "[A] U.S. surveillance court has given the National Security Agency no limit on the number of U.S. telephone records it collects in the name of fighting terrorism, the NSA director said Thursday. The NSA intends to collect all U.S. telephone records and put them in a searchable 'lock box' in the interest of national security, General Keith Alexander, the NSA's director, told U.S. senators." But don't worry; it's just metadata, until it isn't. (Your row in the NSA database may already be getting cozy in its nice new home in Utah.)

"He wants all information about everybody he can get his hands on. That's basically his job."

A major reason why they get away with this kind of bullshit is because people like you are uneducated enough to make ridiculous statements like that.
