Of course coders built the programs and networks that made up PRISM, but do you think the PM's and lobbyists that approved the programs were technically minded.

Of course coders built the programs and networks that made up PRISM, but do you think the PM's and lobbyists that approved the programs were technically minded. The coders just did what they were hired to do. My take is that the PRISM program could have started as a foreign intelligence program, but was adapted to a domestic one as well. I as a coder who has built web analytic tools before, how do you differentiate from a foreign user or a domestic one? Just because an IP or mac address is located in the US, it doesn't mean the end user is in the US or it's not spoofed. Our future is not too far fetched than Eagle Eye or Minority Report.
