(30,058 posts)In Boston? Would you want your legs blown off and then you might say I had my privacy or would you rather have your legs intact? You have to be reasonable, everyone around can be a terrorist, they don't come with signs. Do you think every phone call made in the US is monitored? This is where reasoning and paranoia part. If you step outside of your home there will be recordings. Why, perhaps protection of property, etc. Those who seek to overthrow our government by some of their silly tactics are terrorists to me. The gun nuts are terrorists. The bully on the school yard is a terrorist. Postings on the social networks have resulted in terroristic threats. The sexual abuser is a terrorist. The spousal abusers are terrorist. The robbers with a gin in the face of a victim is a terrorist. This is not limited to the NSA, lots of American citizen is trying to protect ourselves and families from harm. You are dwelling on an issue which if you ask truthful employees from the NSA they will tell you there are so many phone calls they would not care who or what was involved on the call. It is unimportant to them, I know you can say there was rogue activity going on but remember truthful employees do not set up those rogue operations. Its like swimming, you font care which drop of water touches you, it doesn't matter. Can I give you a percentage of who communicates with terrorists, then you would need to provide the number of crimes which will occur and I doubt you could do so. Too many terrorist from too many sources.
