The number keeps changing, now it's 50. Mostly with nebulous or no details.
Yeah, right. More mush from professional liars and prevaricators.
Bruce Schneier is rethinking his earlier opinion that the NSA isn't storing voice data. The NSA's definition of "listening in" apparently is opening up the files that they have already collected and then listening.
So it's as though the NSA has taped your calls and, as long as they don't actually listen to the tapes, that's supposedly OK? Wiretapping isn't the act of tapping the wire, it's listening to the call itself?
Anyone else find that to be a pretty perverse definition?

Good points all, and trust is continuing to lessen... sigh
In Maryland, it's illegal to record a telephone conversation without explicitly informing the parties on the call that the conversation is being recorded. NSA is based out of Fort Meade, MD.
Of course, the Sun will go nova before any Maryland law enforcement types try to prosecute any No Such Agency boys for recording EVERYONE'S phone conversations all the time. That would be a bit like an alley cat picking a fight with a leopard.
