SigEx Telecom : Hello?Anybody there?NSA...by Ana Maria Ciobanu

IIt's so easy to communicate through a cellphone and cellphone usage is variably higher than home phone usage. We should expect the next few weeks to see in the spotlight the largest phone carriers and it's very easy to understand why. The NSA with the help of the largest phone providers has been analyzing the phone records of nearly every American since the terrible event from 9/11, hoping to detect calling patterns indicative of terrorists. AT&T, BellSouth and Verizon agreed to offer NSA all their phone records helping this way to create the largest database in the world. NSA's goal is "to create a database of every call ever made"- said an anonymous source of USA Today's. I think it's really very scary to know that everything you say, every friend you have, every address or phone number you know, every "I love you" you say are somewhere in a database. I understand why the NSA is doing this but I can't help to be creped out. They already have a window in every American's communication habits. Perhaps Qwest wasn't wrong to refuse NSA's offer. If you read the "Questions and answers about the NSA phone record collection program" in the USA Today I think you'll ask yourself some questions to. Let's suppose you agree with being listened and then you're curious to find out what They have been listening to. You can't find out because :"No. The NSA's work is secret, and the agency won't publicly discuss its operations." Something even stranger is that They can't even say if what they're doing is legal. They call it "a matter of debate". To enclose, even if you're calling your fellow terrorist friend to go out for a cup of coffee, or you're calling your grandmother to see how she's doing, there's someone listening to you very careful...
