"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Trust Us, NSA Tells Privacy Plaintiffs
Submitted by Persona non grata on Sun, 2012-10-28 23:00

That's what the NSA said in response to a class action that claims the agency would have unlimited authority to monitor anyone at any time if the class loses its lawsuit challenging the government's claim of state secrets protection.
What could possibly go wrong?
