My doubts of the NSA mostly come from watching too many "conspiracy theory" books, and knowing that the NSA is an unregulated branch of US government. The phrase "in the interest of National Security" has been and can be used to cover up just about anything, and the NSA is one organization that frankly scares me in what they can get away with. That's where my distrust comes from. The FAA and FCC are not much better. But those organizations don't concern me much anymore because I am no longer a resident of the United States. Now get to be watched by the CIA instead of the FBI, and the ATF. Although there are rumors... Again, we're getting way off topic here. Politics doesn't really belong on this list and I do not plan to engage in discussing it further. Let us just leave it alone. I don't really care what the US Government does unless they start ordering the military to drop bombs in my neighborhood.
