Great, now I have to hide my porn from the government and my wife.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) is embarking on a secret domestic surveillance project dubbed “Perfect Citizen”, intended to monitor and protect important national infrastructure such as power grids and transport systems.
The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed government and industry sources, says that the NSA has awarded a “black” (classified) $100m contract to defence contractor Raytheon which will see secret monitoring equipment installed within US networks deemed to be of national importance.
According to the WSJ, Perfect Citizen has caused some disquiet among those in the know. It could be seen as the NSA – a military combat support agency whose focus is supposed to be on external threats – carrying out massive automated surveillance of American companies and citizens. The paper quotes an internal Raytheon email as saying that “Perfect Citizen is Big Brother”.
“THEY CAME FIRST for the dirty books at the library,
and I didn’t speak up because I didn’t check out dirty books at the library.
THEN THEY CAME for the phone sex calls,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t making phone sex calls.
THEN THEY CAME for the softcore porn,
and I didn’t speak up because I didn’t watch softcore porn.
THEN THEY CAME for my hardcore Japanese tentacle porn,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.”
