What people need to understand is america is not spying just for political reasons or "national security". NSA is also basically a spying agency for hire , used by US private corporations to win contracts (weapons,it,....) or predict the foreign competitor next move (just like the CIA served private interests in Latin America, just google United Fruits and Guatemala... ).

Not saying that Airbus was the good guy btw. Also, if they help one firm why not another, and so on?
- NoPiece 13y agoThe article doesn't support the claim that the NSA is for hire, or even the Boeing knew what was going on. You can only take from it that the NSA may act in US corporate interests.
