"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
The public should trust that the National Security Agency will use its powers under a Terrorist Surveillance Program only when absolutely necessary, the NSA claims in Federal Court.
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?
