The only way to be sure is for Congress to cut the funding for the NSA to zero. Of course, others would spring up, but they would think twice, knowing that getting busted gets you the boot.
Putting the director of the NSA behind bars for 25 years would also act as a deterrent for future would-be spy-on-americans-is-ok directors of whatever agencies.
- D9u 13y agoI agree. The director of NSA who lied about the capabilities of the program needs to be prosecuted for perjury.
