It was the Patriot Act that got me thinking about what was coming in our future.

So on top of this we've got the police tracking license plates. My question is this, what are the odds that the plate tracking and all the other data being collected by our illustrious NSA will end up housed in the Utah facility?

Talk about having a clear picture of most everyone's daily lives. Orwell seems to have been pretty darn close to reality!

I don't know about anyone else, but this doesn't give me the warm and fuzzy feeling.
I certainly hope they have a big collection, plus, I would hope they have a big collection of social media posting from forums like this one.

This is the America we asked for, so I don't know why people are so shocked that all this is happening. We wanted safety over freedom after all.

So long as there are obedient subjects who think this way, they will.

For as big as the Utah facility is the NSA has already broken ground on the next data center.

But, but, but this isn't happening! The Obama administration first said so!

Now that they are admitting that they lied, look for them to spin it any way that they can and to find a scapegoat (probably Bush or some other Republican). Another opportunity to not take responsibility.

I read corporate emails- it is amazing what people put in their work email never mind "private" email.
