#1 If it wouldn't be too much inconvenience, could the NSA provide me with a wake-up call in the a.m.?

#2 Of course the analysis of Mr. Norman is also part of the problem. "Oooops, I was naive, oh well."

See, until this whole things becomes self aware at 2:14 am eastern time August 29th, it is really only a tool. A tool like a hole in the girls' high school shower room, but a tool nonetheless, and subject to how a person does or does not use the peephole before heading off to Porkey's.

Like firearms, this data does not act on its own. A good question would be what are the standard operating procedures, or perhaps more importantly what are the amendment memos.

Emergency dispatchers go to jail for using their computers for personal inquiries. That is because the information gained can be used to ruin a person. Take that weapon, and add on any aspect of the federal arsonal and make it not only legal, but secret, and that is the concern.

Is it a concern, absolutely. A person has the ability to SWAT somebody, or worse. That is why the SOPs are important, because Joe Cog has to perform day to day duties and has to know when a superior must be involved. The SOPs are set by upper management, who is under direct orders by a board of directors of sorts, which will have a CEO. The CEO is supposed to be under the direction of People of Office. I will leave it up to you which is worse: an Administration which is so uninvolved that these powerful institutions are out of control, or that these arms of federal power received orders and the People of Office flat out lie. I think the answer is even more chilling: both.

When the Safety Office yells, "Stop, we have a problem!" everyone stops and listens and acts. When the President goes on national television and names names then goes golfing, he accomplishes both of the bad choices - sets targets then looks like a derilict landlord. After all, how could anyone one mere person control such a vast array of supervisers from the 19th hole talking waffles with Tiger Woods?

Add to that other holders of office of the dominate party calling political rivals users of terrorist tactics. Calling for a perge of other members of Congress. Calling groups of people a hinderance to government. If these were the intention of Booshhitler policies and this administration is above that, why were they not concelled? If those programs were hijacked by rogues then where was the supervision? If the system works as intended, then perhaps TOTUS was picked up in the middle of the night for favorably mentioning Bush policies eight times in two paragraphs.

It goes even further. As more evidence surfaces of collusion with the communications sector, especially heavy democrat donating Silicon Valley, it only seems a small step to consider if the much touted key to victory data collection system used for the Obama campaign would not be information leaked by a rogue government data collector; it would need to be a real time update system. That is, a clone of the NSA program given to the democrat party headquarters located somewhere under the hole 3 bunker. And that would make all those fundraising trips to California more like bill collecting, and Mr. Obama sure seems to do a lot of Fundraising.

So yes, we do have a problem. And now that all of this tyrannical operation is known, and that there is a major operation on to gather all phone and internet communications, one can only wonder about the initial push to connect everyone, especially rural communities, into their very own high speed internet connection, as well as the notorious handout of obamaphones, and even the believes must have doubt about the charities of big government.

#3 That wake up call would consist of the ATF busting down your door for having unlawful and conservative thoughts JohnQC...

#4 Yeah, and with its real time update, why its almost like having a federal soldier living right here in my house.

There were incredible scientific, manufacturing, and military technology advances during the time of the pre-revolution to Constitution. These are not the mere musing of technology by old men drinking cider, it is the applied philosophy of protecting from tyranny, by a people who just enduring decades of robbery, rape, murder, raiding and open war by the at-time most powerful nation on the planet, where the penalty was death for telling the king that the rent is too damn high. And here we are, being threatened with the Wrath of Authority for expressing an opinion. At least the British put on trial the soldiers who committed violence against their own citizens in Boston. Today we get a "well, college kids just can't seem to keep their pants on" showtune.

#5 The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has some comments at their website. EFF filed a lawsuit in 2011 regarding NSA surveillance. Here. A 2011 FISC opinion ruled that part of the program is unconstitutional. The Justice Department is pushing back to keep the ruling about what part, classified. It seems that this is still playing out.
