Become Spies Like Us

So you live in say China, Singapore or some other upstanding authoritarian or semi-authoritarian country you know that they are spying you be it by overt or covert means. Even that microphone masquerading as flower big brother is your best friend. But you don’t live East Germany where half the population is informants for the Stasi you live in America where the government would like half the population and all police agencies to become spies.
Doesn’t that sound great you could be just like Wild Bill Donavan or Maxwell Smart or perhaps the Pink Panther?

Nine years after the terrorist attacks of 2001, the United States is assembling a vast domestic intelligence apparatus to collect information about Americans, using the FBI, local police, state homeland security offices and military criminal investigators.
The system, by far the largest and most technologically sophisticated in the nation's history, collects, stores and analyzes information about thousands of U.S. citizens and residents, many of whom have not been accused of any wrongdoing.
The government's goal is to have every state and local law enforcement agency in the country feed information to Washington to buttress the work of the FBI, which is in charge of terrorism investigations in the United States.

So, if you live in the United States and have hunger to spy on your neighbors, friends or relatives or have a strong authoritarian bent then this program is your cup of tea. Think of all the fun one could accusing people of crimes they have never committed. Happy Times Are Here Again
