Oh, and yes, i know who "Bill Binney" is. He was the guy who got upset because his idea of software spyware wasnt adopted by the government, but went with another form of spyware.
No wonder he went crying to the media. Plus probably breached many national security laws. Is he in jail? He should be. If i breached my National Security policy i would be interned for a good 10 years
Your statement shows you have no idea who or what I'm talking about and the reason I say all this. You'd know if you paid attention to reality.
"Spyware" has nothing to do with NSA data mining software.
Binney made ThinThread which looked at known terrorist suspects and not the general public. He resigned after the one targeting the public('TrailBlazer') failed to catch the 9/11 hijackers and because it just makes the haystack bigger and targets the public's data(the hay) instead of terrorists(the needle).
He never 'cried' to the media, he asked the DoD to investigate this illegal and wasteful activity. Publicly criticizing the NSA for illegally spying on U.S. citizens on a massive scale as though they are the enemy is not 'crying to the media', but blowing the whistle on rogue criminal surveillance activity.
Later in 2005, when they investigated the NSA's warrantless (illegal) wiretapping program, he was cleared of wrongdoing and no he's not in jail and no he shouldn't be; rather the people operating these mass surveillance programs should. He didn't breach national security unless you think it endangers the nation to criticize and expose the NSA breaching the public's security by levying a cold war on the public at large.
Did you know that they are not even bothered with your little internal world and workings? ...
Oh, really? So, if Barrack Obama or the next president or rogue officials decided to round up Jews for example, you're saying the NSA wouldn't be able to help them because they aren't "bothered" to type "Jew" into their programs?
Report: NSA tracks social ties on FacebookAll they have to do in reality is make a program like a google search index or map or whatever they wish that accesses that data and instantly "bothers" with classifying everyone's racial, political, religious affiliations etc. as desired.
The NSA's already "bothered" to illegally pass on illegally gotten data to the DEA who then illegally fabricates the source for that data, and illegally hides it from a court. This subverts due process and means the court (and convictions) aren't legitimate. If they can do that they're a hair away from fabricating evidence itself. This affects real individuals who's 'internal world' the NSA shouldn't be bothered with- so they hand it to the DEA.

Implying they aren't 'interested' in violating your security flies in the face of reality. They've done it. The public at large has had their data mined/stolen and security subverted by these malicious hackers.
...You seriously need to start engaging what passes for a brain in that head of yours and get a reality check lol
Maybe if you lived in reality you'd know what other people were talking about enough to know you're making a fool of yourself.
