This company, DRT states that it creates systems for US SigInt and therefore can't talk about those system. Although I personally don't agree with indiscriminate use on foreigners in countries with are allied with, I accept the argument that there are circumstances where doing so is fine and dandy when those sigint systems are employed outside the borders of the United States.
What I simply don't get is why the US government is allowed to keep anything secret that is used on a civilian (non-combatant) population of American citizens within US borders during times of peace. This notion that we allow the government to do anything at all in secrecy that involves its own citizens simply makes no sense and I don't know why any US citizens would vote to allow it.
I would love to see a anti-secrecy act that prohibits laws and contracts (NDAs) on any program that targets US citizens at all, especially when warrants are not involved.
I don't know how any group of people elected to a responsibility for governance simultaneously claim to represent our best interests and keep us in the dark about how they are doing so.
