theatlantic.com — "The NSA intercepts entire streams of electronic communications containing millions of telephone calls and e-mails. It runs the intercepts through very powerful computers that screen them for particular names, telephone numbers, Internet addresses, and trigger words or phrases. Any communications containing flagged information" are analyzed.

I think the only thing the NSA intercepts from me, is my recipe for Grilled Pompano...

As usual, most Republicans underestimate and underperform - "Iraq will only cost us X brillions of dollars (not counting the trillions required to bring our personnel and our infrastructure out of Iraq)"It would be nice to have some Democrats elected again. They would likely overestimate and overperform like Bill Clinton did: "We can reform welfare with 200 billion, but I spearheaded this successful project and I did it with less than 100 billion. That leaves us with more than $100 billion in surplus for our future".When Bill Clinton left office the United States had a $3 Trillion dollar surplus of funds.BushCo squandered it within the first 3 years he was in office (Sept. 11th was Bush's fault, so don't play that f**king "but what about the terrerists" card against Bill Clinton).

Don't put words in my mouth - no one said anything about killing us for our freedom! But ilk like you have to change the facts around to reinforce your point. There is no extension of logic from my argument that leads to banning transportation. Although an extension of your logic leads to the killing of innocent women and children because you have some irrational fear that someone might be listening to your your conversations. And then you equate innocent women and children killed by terrorists to those that are killed by accident in automobile accidents and airplanes. Minding our own business as you state will lead to conflict in the middle east that will lead to - I can only hope - you being drafted to in to the military to secure our vital interests.

You're done for mate.

Actually, I'd say that it was Bin Laden and other terrorists (like the ones who bombed the London buses) that have us terrified. Personally I don't want to be blown up while I'm at work and it frightens me that there are people who not only would do that but believe that they're going to heaven for doing so.

OK, first of all, IF Bin Laden had anything to do with 9/11, why were 23 members of his family together in the US the day before and why was NEIL BUSH, G.W.s brother, having dinner with Bin Ladin brother the night before???HUMM??? As for the 'terrorists' who bombed those buses, my dear, those boys were well paid for that debacle. That is called necessary collateral damage. At the time, Prime Minister Blair's popularity - so necessary for the US regime - was seriously flagging. Same deal with the alleged terrorists who were to take down 10 aircraft in the UK. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. Who you should be afraid of is your own government. PLEASE. Humour me. Go find BEST ON LINE DOCUMENTARIES and look for 9/11: Fear and the Selling of the American Empire. THEN find Zeitgeist (zeitgeistmovie.com) and READ The Terror Conspiracy. If, after doing some reasonable research, you're still afraid of terrorists, you will at least know WHO those terrorists are.PLEASE. Humour me and educate you.

The easy way to defeat such a system would be to have everyone say "certain words and phrases" in every communication. Everything would get flagged. It would be like the digg effect on the NSA.<a class="user" href="http://download.paramegsoft.com/">http://download.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.paramegsoft.com/forum/">http://www.paramegsoft.com/forum/</a>
