Thanks for the obvious. If the NSA is getting full credit card numbers no matter where you purchase, that would be a nice suprise, but at this pint, highly unlikely. (Yes I mean at this pint, because who can be sure without further evidence?). That said, if you think they gather all POS and internet transactions, do you have any proof? Just asking.
The NSA may be allowed all access to all information that an airlines has, including the full PAN, however, the airlines doesn't store the full PAN, if they were PCI-DSS compliant. If you assume that the airlines storage servers don't keep the full PAN, but the NSA has the full PAN, then the NSA is conducting man-in-the-middle attacks on its citizens. Sad that they would result to this. Sadder that it probably won't result in stopping a terrorist, or any criminal worth their salt. Just saying.
I'm concerned about NSA's incompetetence of storing all this personal data about everyone.
What happens when China, Russia, or some criminal organization hacks the NSA?
Actually, I mean, WHEN it occurs.
You gotta wonder if the NSA actually works for the USA.
