NSA Email Surveillance Pervasive and Ongoing 243
dkleinsc writes "The NY Times has a piece about work being done by Congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) and others to curb NSA efforts to read email and Internet traffic. Here's an excerpt: 'Since April, when it was disclosed that the intercepts of some private communications of Americans went beyond legal limits in late 2008 and early 2009, several Congressional committees have been investigating. Those inquiries have led to concerns in Congress about the agency's ability to collect and read domestic e-mail messages of Americans on a widespread basis, officials said. Supporting that conclusion is the account of a former NSA analyst who, in a series of interviews, described being trained in 2005 for a program in which the agency routinely examined large volumes of Americans' e-mail messages without court warrants. Two intelligence officials confirmed that the program was still in operation.'"

Seriously... I can't even read ALL my mail. And if I tried, I would probably be infected with 10 Trojans.

Step 1. Call your friend, oldspewey and have him install and configure it for you. He LOVES helping his friends out for free.
Step 2. Just give him a piece of pizza when he is done. It is the only thanks he needs.
Step 3. If anything goes wrong with your PC just call him up and bitch. It is obviously something he did to break your computer.
Now where is my $100?
