This doesn't surprise me at all. I do appreciate you posting this though, as it helps to know more details. The fact that there are people who think that this isn't an issue is very disturbing. As the speaker in the video said (paraphrased)- You don't get to decide what's right or wrong in the eyes of the central government. You might think that being surveilled isn't an issue because you're not doing anything wrong, but you don't get to decide that. Anything you do can be used against you, and you wouldnt even know that it was "illegal."
I feel bad for the person who has to go through tons of messed up porn just to get useful info off someone.

I doubt the government can track me 24/7. I don't carry anything track-able unless my credit cards emit an electronic signal or if I have a tracking device implanted in my butt somewhere.

The best part about these conspiracy theories is that, whether they're true or not, the rest of the world gets to laugh at how insane the United States seems to be.

They'd have the technology to track you, but they wouldn't have the manpower or the funding to track even a tiny fraction of the US population.
they're not building this for nothing....

"Given the facilitys scale and the fact that a terabyte of data can now be stored on a flash drive the size of a mans pinky, the potential amount of information that could be housed in Bluffdale is truly staggering. But so is the exponential growth in the amount of intelligence data being produced every day by the eavesdropping sensors of the NSA and other intelligence agencies. As a result of this expanding array of theater airborne and other sensor networks, as a 2007 Department of Defense report puts it, the Pentagon is attempting to expand its worldwide communications network, known as the Global Information Grid, to handle yottabytes (1024 bytes) of data. (A yottabyte is a septillion bytesso large that no one has yet coined a term for the next higher magnitude.)
It needs that capacity because, according to a recent report by Cisco, global Internet traffic will quadruple from 2010 to 2015, reaching 966 exabytes per year. (A million exabytes equal a yottabyte.) In terms of scale, Eric Schmidt, Googles former CEO, once estimated that the total of all human knowledge created from the dawn of man to 2003 totaled 5 exabytes. And the data flow shows no sign of slowing. In 2011 more than 2 billion of the worlds 6.9 billion people were connected to the Internet. By 2015, market research firm IDC estimates, there will be 2.7 billion users. Thus, the NSAs need for a 1-million-square-foot data storehouse. Should the agency ever fill the Utah center with a yottabyte of information, it would be equal to about 500 quintillion (500,000,000,000,000,000,000) pages of text."

What cellphone? The last time I owned one was four years ago. :lol: I don't even carry my work-issued cellphone with me. I found it pointless because I'm normally either at work (no cellphone required) or at home. Beyond those, I'm probably driving which meant I wouldn't answer my cellphone anyway. Even if I did bring a cellphone with me, it probably would be powered off.

So you're only a part-time agoraphobic.
