14 DAY TRIAL // As stated before, the United States National Security Agency (NSA) has been wiretapping communications on US soil and outside it for many years now, but only recently have they gone to such a high level of tapping as today. The call/message interception has a massive range now and is meant to lash out any enemy intelligence, but the dangerous part of it all is that tapping at random, they might even retrieve communication concerning US' own security.
That would not be a critical issue unless the enemies have their own communication interception stations. That being said, practically the US is doing other spies' work for them. Instead of the enemy spying on separate calls and e-mails and all that, they now only need to spy on the NSA and just filter the data.
Their techniques have been ranked as inefficient by security experts such as Schneier and Landau, the last one stating that the worst part isn't the privacy violation, but the fact that this new technology will open a back door into US communications, for its enemies.
So, to say it briefly, the NSA is gathering a large amount of data and is thinking that this will help national security, not taking into consideration their own defenses and a way to protect this information is what turns their actions into vulnerabilities for national security.
This NSA action will only continue as long as they have a warrant and the one that has been recently granted to them will only last for 6 more months. Security specialists expressed their discontent with the Government's decision to let the NSA threat national security in such a way and state that politicos should think harder before they do the same. If this is to continue, then the fact that the enemy may have similar capabilities must be taken into consideration and the NSA wiretappers should somehow get the best security module to help them prevent any intrusion into their network.
