The defenders of the NSA keep saying they have to collect every ones info so if there is a threat they can address it as fast as possible but why do they need to collect it when all they really need is ACCESS to the info which they have to have a warrant to access according to the Fourth Amendment anyway?
Facts are they had the info and tips from Russia about the Boston bombers and still never took it serious enough to deport the brothers and stop them from killing Americans. So what did all that collected info do to save Americans lives? Same with the Christmas day bomber that thanks to the other passengers on the plane never got to pull off his American killing trick, they had family warning about the kid but they never stop him from getting on a plane and flying into the US.
It has been proven they are not securing the info as Snowden was able to take a pile of the NSA info to RUSSIA, a country that loves rubbing crap in Obama's face, and brag to the World he had it. Which in turn put the fear of god into the Obama administration as they were lying they were not collecting the info. And just today the head of the NSA said they still fear what info Snowden has and who he gave it to. That is the friggin problem with having every ones info in ONE PLACE that thousands, that have been vetted by looking them in the eye and asking them if they promise not to screw the US government before they give them the keys and leave for an extended lunch hour, have access to it with a slip drive.
To me the NSA collecting everyone's data is like the Malayian government starting the search for their missing plane off the coast of California instead of where it supposedly when down which was off the coast of Australia. The NSA's data collection represents all seven oceans and the NSA is looking through an ocean of haystacks to find THEE HAYSTACK the needle is actually in. :roll: AND please if they are not reading foreign leaders info what are they collecting it for do they really think Cameron and Merkel are arranging an attack on the US? :roll:
