Snowden says he could see what I do on the web.

126. 'Yahho?' What does that mean?

Anyhow, my bank and eBay share information with each other, in fact. PayPal is part of eBay. Paypal has access to one of my checking accounts. My bank also shares information with credit bureaus. There's lots of sharing going on, much of which you are apparently not aware of. If I want to use their services, I must agree to that sharing.

My bank also shares information with the IRS. So do the people with whom I contract for my services. I get 1099s from them, which are also sent to the IRS. The IRS shares information with the Social Security Administration, which has a complete record of all income I've earned since 1962, when I got my first paycheck. The NSA? I don't know if my bank shares information with the NSA. I doubt that very much, although the FBI can certainly get an order to view my bank records. The NSA doesn't usually interest itself in the bank records of US Citizens, unless there are transactions with foreign entities that are under investigation.

As far as I know, the NSA also doesn't administer the Department of Homeland Security, which handles the no-fly list. I suppose that if my communications outside of the United States were connected to some terrorist organization, that information might find its way to the DHS, via the NSA, but I don't have any such communications.

Not every government agency is the NSA. The NSA is not the government. It is just one agency of the US Government, and it has a pretty narrow set of rules about how it behaves. I'm not much concerned about the NSA, frankly, in my own life. I'm far more concerned with the IRS, which is why I'm very careful to pay all taxes I owe.

Based on your post, I'm not sure how much you know about how this all works. You might want to do a little more research, to make sure you have your information right.
