In reply to the discussion: Do you believe the FBI and NSA when they say more than 50 plots were foiled by NSA surveillance? [View all]Savannahmann
(3,891 posts)62. Ah I see.
You believe the police were going door to door. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=9129480
And while there asking politely if there were any bombing suspects in the house. I see, you choose to pretend that is the way things work. Yet, as we saw in California when the police were searching for Dorner, and in Boston, they swarm the streets with heavily armed police and then while pointing machine guns at people ask politely if they may please search the premises.
OK, choose to believe that as well as the NSA is not reading your mail, or monitoring your phone calls. Yet, for some reason, the stories keep supporting my point of view, instead of yours.
But wait, I thought the story about heavily armed police and armored vehicles which are tanks in everything but the tracks, were an alex jones nonsense right?
BTW Here's the information on the Armored Vehicles that the Homeland Security were using.
Now, how did Alex Jones talk the Homeland Security into getting those damned things. He's far more effective than I'd given him credit for. I'd thought he was a nut who talked to fifty people on the internet, but hey, if you say so....

I have seen the video, and I've seen similar and heard of similar through history.

If you prefer that sort of policing, then you are entitled to your opinion

Notice that those who post and repost pro-surveillance propaganda have nothing to say?

The claim is unverifiable, not subject to scrutiny by the general public.

Apparently they are going to present the evidence in a closed-door meeting with Congress

It is my understanding that members of Congress won't be able to discuss the information with anyone

If ever there was ever anything that should be leaked by Congress, that briefing is it.

That's nothing. I thwarted two plots all by myself yesterday, before lunch even.

Thank YOU. And since I've got a $1.8 billion check coming, no charge either.

About as much as I believe the snoopers value privacy and the 4th Amendment.

They probably stopped as many plots as the TSA employees did with free feel-ups at the airports.

No way! If the FBI and NSA had foiled any of these so called "50 plots" they themselves would have
