After 6 months of anti-mass surveillance activism,I'd like to share an insight with the community. The problem with the NSA is not just one or more illegal program but their operating culture and philosophy. The NSA has gone into the business of preemptively acquiring capabilities(subverted systems,large scale databases, zero days, malware, etc) and then marketing those capabilities to other institutions from law enforcement to foreign governments. The NSA leverages the classification system, deception and parallel construction to evade judicial and legislative review on how those capabilities are used. This approach to covert actions means that there is no part of society that the NSA will not attack to stockpile a capability for some unspecified future use.
