But after 9/11, it installed taps in US telecom “switches,” gaining access to domestic traffic. An ex-NSA official says there are 10 to 20 such installations."
Well, there are literally thousands of switches in the U.S. The baby bells have hundreds, the 2nd and 3rd tier carriers many, many more. You are going to need access to each one of them before you can claim you're recording all calls. I'd be satisfied with half and a statistics slight of hand. But 10 to 20?
So I'm afraid I'd just have to clump these sorts of claims into the conspiracy theory category. And I'm not ready to start wearing my tinfoil hate so they can't read my mind.
Not yet.
So you just ignore them admitting to it in front of congress because you don't believe what Snowden says? It's not up for debate, it's been confirmed.
What you you expect, for a spy organization to come out and openly say "Here's all the way's we are spying on you?". That's a bit farfetched, considering they deny any black operation even exists, even when they do exist.
