Bamford's books are the best around, and even they don't tell the whole tale. What they do tell is frightening enough....virtually every private electronic [and a few others] communication in most important parts of the world are caputred and monitored; stored in computers and sorted thorugh using the largest computer system that exists. My post here - and our every email, call, web-browsing, bank teller action....et al. Big Brother is watching....not just potential foes, but everyone. NSA has secret permission to use 'slitters' in all USA telecomunications companies to get the signals - others they get via satellite, antennas, patches on cables and other means. Remember that Perkins [Confessions of an Economic Hitman] was hired by NSA - so they don't just do electronic spying.Yeah, they're not going to give anything away if they can help it. Bamford is definitely The Man when it comes to the NSA. I saw one of his documentaries not too long ago here called The Spy Factory. Very good. :vroam:
