"Perfect Citizen" Surveillance Program to Monitor Private Networks for Cyber Attacks


A U.S. military official called the program long overdue and said any intrusion into privacy is no greater than what the public already endures from traffic cameras.

Here's my difficulty with this.
  1. "Perfect Citizen?" Who's naming these new government programs, George Orwell?
  2. I've reached point of being more afraid of this goverment than external enemies.
  3. NSA "sensors" placed in the network?  Hello?
  4. 95% of internal threats to our infrastructure could be caught with wire taps on Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, George Soros and Goldman Sachs.   Look it up.

"The NSA insists the failsafe measures would only kick in when suspicious activity arises and would not continuously monitor the data streaming through a private company's networks."
How can they spot suspicious activity without monitoring all traffic?

Several years ago, I heard there was a building out in San Francisco where the .gov was already monitoring the whole internet. Whatever happened to that? When I read it, it was presented as one of those "Bush tramples civil liberties" stories, and he's been replaced by a Democrat, so...

Anyways, security legend Bruce Schneier has a recent post on the topic.

You remember the old joke about the NSA advertising employment opportunities? To apply, just call anybody.

Not so effing funny anymore, are it?
