This post certainly beats the hot air that’s been emanating from Brazil, the UK, and Russia over the past several weeks.

There’s no way on earth there is enough equipment or personnel for the NSA to pull up everyone’s individual phone calls or emails, or to monitor the Internet, even domestically, without breaking the Treasury. They’re looking for specific threats, and they know what they’re looking for.

It would mean everyone spies on everyone else, and that’s not happening.

It makes more sense that they are looking for specifics of terroristic activities, and not interested in what kind of political opinions I might have. And even most domestic threats made on social media, for instance, aren’t caught by the NSA—they’re caught by individuals who report them, such as the many blatantly violent ones against the President, handled by the Secret Service, and against other elected officials.
