Why not just put the birth control in the cake?

That the point of going to work is to make a living? I know, it's revolutionary.

Have you ever employed anyone? I mean full-time or close to it.

FWIW: http://www.cnet.com/news/snowden-nsa-sno......arrants/ "Earlier reports have indicated that the NSA has the ability to record nearly all domestic and international phone calls -- in case an analyst needed to access the recordings in the future." http://www.wired.com/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/all/ (this article is a little dated) "[the NSA] has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net." The main point is, though, that the NSA is said to have the ability to record everything and perhaps does. But it (so it is said) only examines a tiny fraction of it, when certain people involved in the recordings are flagged.

What Balducci posted is just the tip of the iceberg.
My experience whilst serving on projects as a prototype engineer for data storage equipment at facilities was this. ALL of the data is harvested in the switching stations at the data centres. The fibre optic lines run from the switches to equipment at a secured annex building then routed back to the outflow lines. Military and civilian personnel served as security at these facilities. The staff at the data centre removes the collection drives from the server units, then places them in metal lock boxes which then go into a secondary secured container. The data is stored on magnetic tape drives. This medium is still the most cost efficient. A certain company comes in once a week sometimes more and assumes possession of the storage container for transport to a secured facility where the data is processed through equipment listening for key words and phrases and patterns. The above data were phone conversations, texts, web searches, emails, etc... When an email gets deleted it only gets removed from the available folder. It is rewritten in another folder which is not available to the user. These folders are stored on magnetic tape drives which are collected on a daily basis and sent to storage at a data storage companies vault. Iron Mountain handled much of this duty at various projects I was a part of. There used to be a intelligence loophole whereby a party could type any message then save it as a draft in a folder, having never sent it. A user in another part of the worlde had the email account password and could readily access any message without it being sent over traveling on the net. Such is no longer the case, even drafts are stored for future review if deemed necessary. No, the conversations were not listened to in real time, but there was a means to do so and sometimes did. Software on Equipment 'Runs the numbers' if will, then sends a status report to a human resource. I glossed over the particulars in the above post for the most part and my agreements with those parties have since expired. |

With all of this high tech stuff you would think we could find Lois Lerner's Emails.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

Acesover,
Listening posts and remote data switches. Many of the repeater and listening posts are located on rural homestead property. They are protected by roving patrols and the wildlife present make the sites seem anything but extraordinary to the locals. The vault doors can only be opened at these remote facilities via satellite signal by a project manager. A service tech stands on watch outside of the underground facility in case of an accident or premature lock. Not all of the sites are underground. When work is performed at these sites, one is given a certain window of time that is pre-determined. The hatch(door) is locked when time expires and can only be unlocked when the next satellite comes around. I can assure you that although certain parties claim to have lost or erased emails, they exist! I will bet my life on it. The parties that possess the data do not have an incentive at this time, to reveal the data unless informed otherwise. If push comes to shove and a particular party has enough clout, the data can be retrieved and all parties know this. Negotiations are playing out as we speak. I have no doubt! |

Why didn't we catch the Boston bombers way ahead of time? Somebody obviously didn't know how to search this nearly infinite data base. I've answered this too, several times. Because capturing "terrorists" is not the main purpose of the database. (BTW we don't know that they *didn't* do database searches.) The FBI had plenty of info about the Boston Boys already way before the bombings--to the point that there is not unreasonable speculation that they were possibly FBI informants. (NOT saying the FBI set this up--but the FBI knew beforehand about their drug dealing and their connections to violent Russian Muslim groups. They either dropped the ball, or were asked to do so.)

Could the bomb drill which occurred on the day of the marathon
be an indirect way to respond to a threat which was based on incomplete evidence? |

Are you denying that the FBI had had contact with the brothers before the bombing? Because even the FBI doesn't deny that. They blew it.

Admittedly, I'm a bit sensitive on the insurance topic. I see a few people shouting loudly about maybe having to pay higher taxes and I'm over here wondering if I'll get to see my kids grow up. That's not an exaggeration, if I hadn't gotten ACA compliant healthcare this year I would almost certainly be dead. Lives > Money. Say what you want about me but at least I've been consistent in that philosophy.
