You'll find that this NSA BS has been going on for over 20 yrs.
Also, everybody keeps talking about the new NSA facility in UT (which was initiated by the Bush Administration btw), but the first facility that I personally know about is the one in Augusta, GA at Ft Gordon. They currently expanding this facility. Phase I was completed a couple of yrs ago. The company I used to work for supplied construction material to the facility. The code name for the job was 'Sweet Tea'. DHS, Google and Facebook code name their facilities as well. Google and Facebook are essentially NSA shell corporations.
If you get the National Review the latest column from Rob Long, "The Long View" was spot on. It's a series of messages from a newly hired NSA interceptor sending messages to a girl (Melanie) he knew in high school but never had the courage to talk to her then.
So now he sends email and text messages telling her about the poor credit of her current boyfriend and that her other friends are talking trash and that he agrees with Melanie, her mom is a bit of bitch. I swear, it's a movie waiting to be made.
"NSA claims not to collect cellphone location records"....Yea and Obama is the smartest guy in the room, If I were wearing a skirt I am sure the wind would be blowing up that skirt at around three hundred miles as hour.... Liar, liar....
Not to worry, you would have perished from the smoke inhalation long before the wind got that high.
Speaking of collecting:
Federal Employees Paid to Work for Unions
More than 250 employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs are being paid to work for government employee unions rather than veterans — even though the VA has a backlog of nearly 1 million unprocessed benefit claims.
These employees are on "official time," defined as "paid time off from assigned Government duties to represent a union or its bargaining unit employees," according to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Their salaries range from $26,420 to the $131,849 being paid to a nurse in San Francisco who represents the Nation Federation of Federal Employees.
Government workers on "official time" have office space at the agency that employs them, are paid for full-time work, and receive medical insurance and other fringe benefits, even though many are not required to show up at the agency, reports Diana Furchtgott-Roth, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
The VA spent $42.5 million on official time in 2011, including salaries and benefits.
Republican Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Rob Portman of Ohio sent a letter to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki saying: "Documents show that your department recently employed at least 85 nurses, some with six-figure salaries, who were in 100 percent official time status. At the same time, the department is recruiting more people to fill open nursing positions."
But official time is not limited to the VA. The OPM reported that the federal government paid more than $156 million to workers on official time in 2011, up from $139 million in 2010.
Sen. Coburn told Furchtgott-Roth: "It is unacceptable for employees to spend 100 percent of their time away from the job taxpayers pay them to do."
The vast majority of campaign contributions from government worker unions go to Democrats, Furchtgott-Roth observed in an article for Real Clear Markets.
Republican Rep. Phil Gingrey of Georgia has introduced a bill to limit official time, and in the Senate, Kentucky's Rand Paul has a bill that would completely eliminate it.

This could explain why it took them 6 months to reply to my disability claim, but gave me only 30 days to gather a laundry list of documentation and affadavits to support my claim, all of which had to be submitted on certain forms, so I couldn't have done it in advance.
I even managed to get an affadavit from my ex-wife in Texas!
They don't need to collect that information. The phone companies do it for them. Anyone who is into true crime knows that many modern criminals have been "pinged" at specific placed at specific times, sealing a conviction. That "pinging" is fancy language for "collecting cellphone location records". The NSA may be a spy organization, but they are not the department of redundancy department.
I spell my bologna Oscar... Not that I trust either of them.
Yea, and I don't collect scrap metal to resell.
They subcontract that out to someone else?
