NSA Data If it's digital and your computer is on and attached to the Internet, the NSA has it. From the NSA Website: https://nsa.gov1.info/data/index.html ============================================== What if we could build a national data warehouse containing information about every person in the United States? Thanks to secret interpretations of the PATRIOT ACT, top-secret Fourth Amendment exceptions allowed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and broad cooperation at the local, state, and federal level, we can! What Data We Collect Every day, people leave a digital trail of electronic breadcrumbs as they go about their daily routine. They go to work using electronic fare cards; drive through intersections with traffic cameras; walk down the street past security cameras; surf the internet; pay for purchases with credit/debit cards; text or call their friends; and on and on. There is no way to predict in advance which crucial piece of data will be the key to revealing a potential plot. The standard operating procedure for the Domestic Surveillance Directorate is to "collect all available information from all available sources all the time, every time, always". In the spirit of openness and transparency, here is a partial list of current and planned future data collection targets: internet searches websites visited emails sent and received social media activity (Facebook, Twitter, etc) blogging activity including posts read, written, and commented on - View our patent videos watched and/or uploaded online photos viewed and/or uploaded online mobile phone GPS-location data mobile phone apps downloaded phone call records - View our patent text messages sent and received Skype video calls online purchases and auction transactions credit card/ debit card transactions financial information legal documents travel documents health records cable television shows watched and recorded commuter toll records electronic bus and subway passes / Smartpasses facial recognition data from surveillance cameras educational records arrest records driver license information ========================================= BONUS: List of Words that excite the NSA: http://billslater.com/nsa_list_of_words.jpg
