| thranx said: Its on of my major concerns. people act as if the NSA isnt sharing this info among other government agencies. I would not be suprised to find other links (NSA-IRS)(NSA-DEA)(NSA-ATF) You name it. Let alone the ease of possible civilians using it against their neighbors. How many people have acces to this info? If snowden could hack it and reveal, can't others? Once the info is there, it can also easily be used to keep political adversies at bay, and to keep a political party in power using the opression of information. I mean look at what the IRS has done with targetting conservatives. Wouldn't it suck to try and run for office only to get auditied and have personal details "leak" about you? I know it worries me more than any terroism ever will. |
I absolutely agree. I think it's perfectly rational to expect that since they're using the collected information to give tips to the DEA, why shouldn't they give similar tips other agencies? If the technological capabilities are there anyway, one can assume that they will be used wherever it seems beneficial.
And I too think that the problem of the humans having access to the information is severe too. I alone know of several people who've used their access to certain credential information for private matters.
