story category Possible 2nd NSA Spy Center for AT&T?
Employees claim another room in St. Louis
(old news - 09:08AM Wednesday Jun 21 2006)
tags: telco · privacy
Salon (watch an ad to view complete story) is reporting that two former AT&T employees state that the telco has had a second NSA monitoring room in St. Louis since 2002. The employees state the room, sealed with retinal scanners, was used for "monitoring network traffic" and that the room was being used by "a government agency." As the article notes, "The nature of the government operation using the Bridgeton room remains unknown, and could be legal."

Aside from them trying to kill Kenny, they are still working on finding out who Cartman's biological mother is.

Bush may be a douchebag, but he's definitely not smart enough or cunning enough to pull a hitler. Hitler was able to convince the people to GIVE him the power he wanted voluntarily. Bush is still at step 1, messing around with congress to make gays second class citizens - hitler would have long ago dismissed congress, and made all undesireables 3rd rate citizens years ago.

No worries.

Hey! I've always kept my bathroom immaculately clean. It's just difficult to spy on people when everything is in a small room. Not to mention how the steam from the shower doesn't play nice with the computer equipment... it was just better to move it all out of there.

My NSA room is in an old warehouse in the industrial area of Baltimore. It was really nice, totally isolated from the outside world.

I prefer an RFID reader... mainly because keycards can get swiped to death, and because of the negative connotation that RFID technology has in general.

This quote is trotted out at least once a week here. It is overused and barely relevant in the modern world of terrorism. Besides, no essential liberties are being given up, and to describe the threat to security as temporary is mistaken.

Spoken like someone who swallows the whole flawed Bush line, hook, line, sinker, rod and reel, and maybe stops just short of Bush's nuts.

How is freedom not relevant in the "modern world of terrorism?" Are you saying that all freedom and liberty is off the table because this administration is too stupid to know how to deal with a decentralized group like Al Qaeda and is flailing wildly to try and come up with some way of dealing with it?

As for the threat to security being permanent, isn't that exactly what Big Brother argued in 1984? "Oceania has always been at war with East Asia." A "permanent" threat justifies a permanent assault on liberty. This is no more permanent a threat than were the terrorist threats of the '70s (or can you remember that?). There was no wholesale assault on liberty after OKC was there???

Funny how you right wing types will always back those "wise old dead white guys" when they talk about morals or religion but not uncomfortable subjects like freedom....

With each passing day I have a growing feeling of disapointment in my country and in my goverment. All of these cover ups and lies. Why the fsck can't these assholes be straight with the American public for once? After all we pay their salaries. The goverment is stepping all over our freedom in the name of "terror". Hell I would much rather live in a world of fear instead a world without trust.

I really think America is heading for another civil war, its long past due. When it happens, who will you stand by?

Please show me ONE neutral source that confirms the existence of these "NSA Spy Rooms".

It always seems to be "former employees" that come forward. They wouldn't have an axe to grind against AT&T would they? How come there are no "Current Employees" blowing the whistle??? Perhaps because these rooms are perfectly legal and no one without a hidden agenda has anything to say.

This is not funny and is a lame attempt at humor. Most of ya don't even know what ya saying and it's sad to see that.
Continue to make jokes while wasting as much as our precious time as possible. Listen, If we wanna laugh there's lot of comedy show that would do that and its much much funnier then this such as tommy boy, dumb and dumber.

Re: Why Blame ATT

Lame attempt probably, funny not likely. Nevertheless I post what I wish simply because I can. Whether you find it funny or not is your own opinion which frankly I can careless.

If you prefer to point people to trash comedy like things such as dumb and dumber I believe you fall right into that category.

If you knew it was humor then you obviously knew I was not serious yet you state saying I do not know what I am talking about. So let's try to be real here, did you take it as humor or did you take it seriously? Pick one.

So if you say I do not know what I am talking about, since you obviously want me to bite what information you know that makes everyone statements on BBR wrong but your's right? I will be awaiting your answer.
