Did the NSA ever say hello back to you?

Person calls NSA.
NSA listens.
Warrant never obtained.

I don't get the problem with the NSA listening to US calls....someone explain this to me....

A warrant is not required to monitor any type of communication.

by all means.   We must do everything in our power to catch terrorists (EXCEPT LISTENING IN ON MOSQUES) and carefully check Muslims attempting to get on airlines (EXCEPT FOR ALLEGED MUSLIM WOMEN IN BURKAS).

After all, Muslims all vote Democrat, and are 8% of the Democratic voting block.

These aren't the Droids you're looking for.  Move along.

Do you really believe this "terrorist" thing? lol It's the greatest lie of all time! They just want to spy on you without you protesting against it.

I agree with you but it's not an assertion that is provable or actionable.

Pretty sad, though...

more importantly, do not fall for the red herring that we should all focus on the NSA.  Think in broad terms.  The FBI, the DEA, the IRS, Dept of Agriculture (not kidding), city police departments, commercial companies.

Your data is nothing but a ripe peach on the vine to be plucked.  Here is the general attitude of government employees for any alphabet agency regarding you.

By the way, I apologize for putting a great song in this context.  But couldn't resist.

Here's YET ANOTHER....

(Yes I realize this is an old post)

The things you think suck would be welcomed as issues on GitHub.
