Do their employees snoop on US citizens? Nope. I find it highly ironic that you are making this statement today. Today, where it came out that the IRS leaked confidential infos on one political group to their political enemies [1]. I have

This is not the point. I'm looking at the bigger picture. At its current form the US government attempts to take away individual liberties from its citizens. Guns are polarizing, but the same goes for the TSA/Security Theater, Online Privac
