I wish there were a clear separation between passive surveillance and active. I'd be happier if the NSA merely analyzed signals coming from foreign nations, rather than trying to penetrate the networks of said nations - even if it's North Korea. If I were someone working for the NSA, I would not feel like a "good guy". Maybe I'm just a naive young person who hasn't lived through the brutality of a world war to know why this penetration is necessary. I equate this to invading a foreign country. I don't feel good -- as a citizen -- waking up in this country knowing this goes on.
