The NSA is probably reading this blog...over your shoulder

James Bamford wrote a great article for Wired.com on
the NSA's new spy center being built in the Utah desert.
This wouldn't be so disconcerting except that the NSA, an agency
that historically was tasked with preventing another surprise attack
after Pearl Harbor (and clearly, has done a bang-up job since)
has turned its spies inward.

This new facility will be monitoring the
U.S. telecommunications networks and
storing all the data it collects.

I find this particularly troubling considering
I had to OK a new set of Google privacy terms
just to post this.
