Whistle Blower Info On Wired

"In 2003 AT&T built "secret rooms" hidden deep in the bowels of its central offices in various cities, housing computer gear for a government spy operation which taps into the company's popular WorldNet service and the entire internet. These installations enable the government to look at every individual message on the internet and analyze exactly what people are doing. Documents showing the hardwire installation in San Francisco suggest that there are similar locations being installed in numerous other cities."

Information on how "secret rooms" were set up to divert and analyze internet traffic. Interesting read.

Spying on U.S. citizens without a warrant is done under the guise of keeping America safe. Personally I would feel more 'safe' with a government that I can trust and one that upholds concepts like privacy and liberty.
