Beware! Big Brother is Listening


People might hear you...
In the fight to combat international terrorism and drug trafficking, US, British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand governments have quietly set up a system that intercepts every international telephone call, fax and email, scanning this for key words associated with known terrorist and drug groups. Operated by the National Security Agency of USA which is bigger, but less well known, than the CIA, the NSA is then in a position to alert the world’s counter terrorist and counter drug organizations. But many are concerned that this is too Orwellian. The article describes the facilities in place and the reader can make up his/her own mind as to whether such systems are justified.
