Vast US effort seen on eavesdropping

"They have a capacity to listen to every overseas phone call," said Tom
Blanton, director of the National Security Archive at George Washington
University, which has obtained documents about the NSA using Freedom of
Information Act requests.

It seems that the technology has developed somewhat since LaCourse
worked for the NSA.

Yeah, I know about Echelon.

You can safely bet that any overseas call you make is scanned for
keywords by voice recognition software. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised
if every domestic call were scanned, or at least that's the direction
we're heading.

The Rhyolite satellites could pick out Russian words and pharases from the
microwave channels they monitored. The FBIs carnivore program does the same
to your email. If your setting in your Onstrar equiped GM vehicle they can
not only track where you are they can listen at will.

Yeah, but as long as you're not doing anything WRONG, you have nothing
to worry about, right?

No problemo. I don't know a lick of Russian.

And I'm not doing anything wrong. Promise. So I'm not worried. Not one
little bit. Those Islamofascists better watch out, though.

Speaking of Bushisms, there was this beauty I caught on the Daily Show
a couple of weeks ago:

"It's hard to imagine Osama enjoying something as beautiful as
Chanukah."

As long as you have a spare room or two in your house you might as well
quarter a few soldiers as well.
