Government is tracking all U.S. phone calls [and internet forums]
Dunno if this has been addressed here recently. According to the article at the other end of the link below, secret monitoring on phone lines extend back to at least 1978, and since the Patriot Act have expended relentlessly, to include monitoring of internet forums.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-secret-surveillance-20130607,0,5263648.story?page=1&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20latimes%2Fnews%2Fnationworld%2Fnation%20%28L.A.%20Times%20-%20National%20News%29&utm_source=feedburner&track=rss Also, accordingly, components of this spying were supposed to be up for review for the purpose of being removed. Not only has that not been done, but the opposite has taken place. Interesting article and while not exactly new information, the scope of the intrusion continues to grow. The Senate appears to be the leading proponents of this, but no one in the .gov appears to object at all. |

All overseas calls are monitored for content of key words I thought with automatic machines. There is no way that the signifigant manpower required is available to do it with Human monitoring directly.
Unless there is ether some previous knowledge or indication that it could produce some results. No doubt though that some monitoring is done and always has been. If I log on to terrorist type sites It may be logged and checked. It would be stupid to do otherwise in todays environment. You have to have a way to locate and follow up on the crazies. |

I heard that one plot was foiled when the guy building the bomb needed some pointers on just how much of whatever to use so he e-mailed the main office for some advice.
Since he was a bit behind on his 'booming' schedule he included his cell number so they could call him with the info. (If I had been at the home office I would have e-mailed back 'Do not expect us to hurry just because you waited until the last minute!') Anyway, the Feds were able to take the info and use it to stop the guy who really was planning on some major killing. |

Well then, let's shut all of these activities down and just sit tight and wait for the next September 11. Of course, then, cretins (not talking about you of course, nosiree) will rail on about how we sat on our asses and let it happen. |

How about we understand that there will be more attacks, and police have many tools already in available. If the police have a reason to suspect someone, they can get a warrant for more searches.

The list was published, so I went down and checked out a few of them. The library's across the country refused to play ball, so I never got to visit with anyone. I did get to read a few good books, though. |
