It took longer than I thought, but here we go. The idea is that everyone emails someone with a message riddled with terrorism keywords. The website located here has an example message.
Remember, they supposedly aren't reading your emails, which explains why they needed that $2 Billion dollar facility in Utah to intercept and decrypt those handful of messages they do get.
Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the worlds communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks.
So how many red flags are going to go up Wednesday evening when many people send the email?

Sounds like something Rand Paul would think up!
bunnies
(15,859 posts)The R's and the D's are spying on you. I would NEVER do that! Vote for me! Vote for me! Both he and daddy dearest are all over the news lately. Just what we need.
I bet the tea baggers are going crazy with this stuff, and Rand is counting on them to "donate" to his cause!
bunnies
(15,859 posts)He was whippin em up over freedom! and liberty! The government is un-American! And theres still a couple of years to pound it into their heads. Looks like theyre going full-on libertarian this election season. And all these "scandals" are just perfect for Rand. What a coincidence.

(15,859 posts)Benghazi = We wouldnt even BE there!
IRS = ha. Abolish it!
Domestic spying = never on my watch!
Obamacare = Screw you. Get sick? You die.
He'll be the pied piper of baggerville. I can hardly wait.
They got nothing, so crank up the orchestrated "scandals". Perfectly timed so that there is only 1 out there at a time to drum up maximum hysteria.
bunnies
(15,859 posts)Kinda like that part of the infomercial where they say "but wait! theres more!". Its clearly a concerted effort to drag it out as long as possible for maximum political damage. Wont be long before Johnny & Jane USA are all scandalled out though. 3 more years of this shit.
I would hope after awhile people will just roll their eyes and get on with it. It's gonna be a looooong 3 years.
bunnies
(15,859 posts)Very long. I just hope their primary season is worse than ours. Fingers crossed.

(34,124 posts)The Supreme Court has ruled that unless you can prove you were spied on you don't have standing to challenge the law. If they act on the e-mail, that might get the person with standing issue who is needed in order to challenge the constitutionality of the law.
bunnies
(15,859 posts)Why not just wait for that? Im sure theyll be no shortage of people looking to sue the government.

(21,020 posts)sense as calling 911 and sending emergency personnel to fake accidents, robberies, assaults, etc.
In the end, it takes time and resources away from REAL emergencies.
Yech.
Who thinks this shit up, anyway?

Seriously?

(3,496 posts)I don't have anything to say that needs to be encrypted other than on-line banking. I won't write code for foreign nationals and I won't write code for any MIC related entity either... Sure sucks to be unemployed.

(5,113 posts)My job is so shitty I wish I could overthrow my boss. Its like this oppressive regime where only true believers in his management techniques will stay around. I work marathon-length hours and hes made all these changes that have made it the worst architecture firm to work at in Manhattan. Like he moved the office to the Financial District and fired my assistant. She was the only one who knew where the blueprints were! I need access to those blueprints to complete my job! F my life, right? And he keeps trying to start all these new initiatives to boost revenue, but seriously we just need to stick to what we do best. Theres only one true profit center. I seriously feel ready to go on strike at any second.
I just read this article about how these free radical particles can cause the downfall of good health and accelerate aging. These could actually cause death to millions of Americans. If these particles are flying around undetected everywhere, does that mean were all radicalized?
Have you seen the second season of Breaking Bad? I just finished it. I couldnt believe that episode where they poison the guy with ricin! That was the bomb! I wont say any more because I dont want to reveal the earth-shattering events to come.

Okay, I gotta run! Im late for flight school. I missed the last class where we learn how to land, so I really cant miss another one. Talk to you later!

(3,891 posts)It's also funny how so many people here who said that the Government isn't watching you are now not speaking at all, or asserting that this is stupid and childish.
As for me, I've got an app on my ipad to mimic the enigma machine. I'm thinking of encrypting that and sending it to my alt email addy.
