Police State

NSA literally maps the lives of Americans.
"McGruber writes "The New York Times is reporting on yet another NSA revelation: for the last three years, the National Security Agency has been exploiting its huge collections of data to create sophisticated graphs of some Americans' social connections that can identify their associates, their locations at certain times, their traveling companions and other personal information. 'The agency can augment the communications data with material from public, commercial and other sources, including bank codes, insurance information, Facebook profiles, passenger manifests, voter registration rolls and GPS location information, as well as property records and unspecified tax data, according to the documents. They do not indicate any restrictions on the use of such "enrichment" data, and several former senior Obama administration officials said the agency drew on it for both Americans and foreigners.'"
Just as one would expect. More.

New technology greatly enhances eavesdropping capability.

An inspector general won't help Americans against the NSA. Inspector Generals are tools government agencies use to create the appearance of propriety.

Car monitoring devices from insurance companies can track where you go. Why would anybody think otherwise?
