In reply to the discussion: the idiotic attacks on Snowden show exactly how petty and pathetic those folks are [View all]randome
(34,845 posts)So I can't definitively speak for anyone else. Still, there is no reason to believe that a potential employer would know anything about someone from NSA metadata copies. The same records the telecom companies keep for their own purposes.
The records that Carl Bernstein said appeared to be well safe-guarded against abuse.
We'd all feel better if the records weren't stored by anyone, telecoms included, but I think those 'in the know' feel it's handy to have around in the case of another terrorist attack, either foreign or domestic. And it makes sense that law enforcement would want to know who else a bomber or whatever had been communicating with.
