Do they collect only long distance calls ? I think strictly local call are not recorded by the telephone companies. Any TELCO people: Is this correct ? --If they would keep records of local calls too, it would run into billions every day.🙄

I would imagine they keep them all. ALL.

This is an amazing problem, I thought having cameras everywhere was overboard but this is way out of line.

If you're not a terrorist, this shouldn't concern you. These questions sound like terrorist talk to me.

I hope you are kidding.

It is a problem, 'cuz once they use it for this, they will use it for that... and that.... and that. Next we will use it to find hamsters with genetic eye defects, and round them all up too.

It's neverending once we start.

Nope, I absolutely have reason to suspect badenfender of being a terrorist based upon him asking those questions. I've reported him.

Why do I have to be kidding? Are you telling me we shouldn't arrest and torture everyone who questions the government? Seems pretty obvious that we should to me. People who question the government are only trying to cause trouble and lead other people to question the government too. It's a cancer of society. If it weren't for the damn constitutionally guaranteed rights, I'd say, "kill 'em all."

(hope this makes it obvious enough)

In the military I worked closely with the NSA, and I reported directly back to Arlington Hall. I can assure you that we're doing all we can to protect America, and if you're offended, that's just too bad. If you think the other sides are more altruistic and humanitarian, then go live in whatever Islamic/African/Communist paradise of your liking, you'll be much happier I'm sure.

You'll need to burn or re-write The US Constitution first... and I'm afraid the US is doing a good job of that right now.

Yes, well, I don't see the problem. When you talk on a CB radio, you're transmitting through open airwaves for everyone to hear. Same thin applies to cell phone conversations. if it goes out over the airways, your right to privacy evaporates.
So what? Just don't be a terrorist or conspirie to commit a criminal act and you're cool. The only people offended are wrongdoers.
