People in the USA thought court authorisation was needed for the NSA to lawfully listen to domestic phone calls?
The legality of the content of your domestic call is ….. all down to the analyst on duty.
Note the “future” storage comment – it would seem that the rewinding of US domestic calls is now out in the open too.

“Carriers should deny boarding. This individual is highly likely to be refused entry to the UK.”
Strange how the UK gov can be so fixated of this issue with Mr Snowden’s photograph, passport number and date of birth…
after its years of uncontrolled immigration paperwork and many working “students”.

The G8 summit will move past Enniskillen, Northern Ireland seeing business from their car windows.
The shuttered businesses are been given large stickers hoping to disguise the empty sites.
Enjoy the “brilliant advertisement”.
Recall the old joke about East Germany, buildings were painted to just over the first floor, all that could be seen from the backseat of Erich Honecker’s limousine.

The US is trading the need for skilled hackers for new offensive cyber war technology.
Will offensive cyber war infrastructure really allow a on click victory?
Will 3rd parties really leave their consumer OS that exposed?

Will US secure communication devices come with a new generation of backdoors?
Where US device makers go, the world usually follows.

An anonymised mobile phone usage data package came with a nice bit of info: your location down to ~100 metres.
The data was all anonymised, aggregated- just dont think too much about the 100m part.

Over two years a 11-member Task Force produced a ~600-page report on the abuse of detainees over three US administrations.
The report covers extraordinary renditions, black sites, rendition, enhanced interrogation tactics, night raids, pulpified prisoner’s legs, the use of feeding tubes….

The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence has a official number – 4.9 million as personnel with a government-wide security clearance.
A 2009 report estimated that 2.4 million.
A 1995 GAO report offered an estimate of 3.2 million for 1993.
Thats a lot of relatives to visit, school teachers to track down, friends to interview, state and federal databases to search… sealed state court records found?
Someone did take the time to sit down and do the interviews or is it all digital from a laptop now?
