NSA gets real time access to your Emails&Instant Messages

[DSM4Life]

the majority of the people here are doing something 'wrong.'

and even if you arent doing anything wrong, why would you want to be comfortable with the government having access to all aspects of your life to potentially use against you?

No one said it was ever going to be used agaisnt me. What if they scan for bomb threats etc but upon finding out that joe-smo smoked weed last night with this friends they simple delete it and move on ?

Also as per google the population is: 301,139,947 (July 2007 est). If you really think that they are reading all that your crazy.

Times the population by the average amount of emails sent per day. That doesnt even include corp emails.

It doesn't matter if its currently being used against you or not. The mere fact that it COULD be used against you should be enough to outrage you. This is again heading down the slippery slope, actually from this article I'd say we have crashed. The NSA is not above the Constitution of the United States which gives every single one of us unalienable rights we have at BIRTH.

Your e-mail and your instant messages are your digital letters or mail. It is illegal to open your mail without a warrant from the courts, and as such should be illegal to view your electronic mail and conversations without such. You have a clear expectation of privacy in an e-mail or through an instant message. When you address your e-mail, it is to a specific person or persons, you are not addressing it to "The world."

Yes it is clear that internet traffic in and of itself has no expectation of privacy, as it equates to driving to different stores in clear public view. However this issue is very different, it is a clear violation and degradation of our civil liberties and someone or some agency should pay the price and I think that people need to goto JAIL for these violations.

Do you expect anyone to disagree with you ? I sure don't.
