NSA Won’t Say How Many Americans They’ve Spied On, For “Privacy” Concerns

Just how many of us have been spied on by our Big Brother Peeping Tom?  (that was solid) Well the NSA would rather you not know.

In a letter to the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community sent last month, Senators Wyden and Udall ask, “how many people inside the United States have had their communications collected or reviewed under the authorities granted by section 702” of the FISA Amendment Act (FAA).

Google Street View Spied On Passwords, Texts

Google Street View car collects texts emails

If you are like you me you will always have your pants a little undone and your shirt easy to life in case you come across the Google Street view car and while it is my mission to share my supple girl-like across the web, my passwords are private.

Chief among the new disclosures: The engineer who intentionally wrote the software code that made it possible for Street View cars to capture emails, passwords and other data from unprotected wireless networks told fellow engineers and a senior manager that he had done so, according to the report.

Google, which had not wanted to make the entire report public, had wrangled with the FCC over the issue. The company released a copy to the Los Angeles Times late Friday after a number of organizations filed public records requests to obtain an unredacted version.
