As an 'operative' it was extremely easy to monitor telephones, cell phones,
faxes, pagers, etc., REGARDLESS of encryption! Though we were targeted
against other countries' communications, US citizens overseas would also be
heard in 'casual search.' I've come across more credit card and personal
information than you would believe! I knew who was fighting with their
wife, who was divorcing who, and who was 'screwing' who. I could tell you
there names, locations, their itinerary, their phone numbers, how many kids
they had, what problems they were encountering at work, problems their
company was having, project details etc.
If this is something you want other folks to have (and not hide), then feel
free. How did you vote last year? You could be on the list. Going for a
job interview? Well, that company has a government contract, and they've
been 'advised' that your employment would be 'unacceptable.' Late on your
taxes, how would you like it if the IRS knew that your brother loaned you
$10,000 to start up your business, and now EVERYTHING in that business is
open to scrutiny? Doing development work and having a problem? Now the
SBA
could readily announce that fact to the World = "Don't expect this project
to be coming out of [your company] any time soon. They have hit a wall
regarding ...." How do you think that would affect your customers'
confidence in you?
Now, we know the internet is not necessarily secure, but if you put our
government in charge, they will be able to have a direct listing of
'enemies' they want to 'hose.' Personally, I don't want to be in that
situation...
