good thing that we are all terrorists now because of these ridiculous lists. really, who doesn't use half these words everyday in conversation this day, and age. so, because I use the words like "water" or "cloud" I could be labeled a terrorist. the land of the free is no longer the land of the free.

I spammed out that list the moment I was aware of it months ago. Every now and then I spam it out again so they get the hint that their computers will not work if we sick the spam defense on them. Spy on that mutha****ers!

I read the "Analyst Desktop Binder" to make sure I had this in context. The list of "keywords and search terms" seems to make complete sense if taken in context.
I don't see a story here?
Are you saying you don't want them to do anything at all? How do you propose they do their jobs instead? Your in charge, how do you monitor the Internet for signs of a threat? Bear in mind these are "keywords and search terms" for Items of Interest reports.
I wonder; how many people do you think it would take to monitor all Internet traffic and postings worldwide? Ten, twelve billion perhaps?

I think the old center is on the west coast. I guess they needed to expand operations and make it less vulnerable to sea attack.

Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.” It is, in some measure, the realization of the “total information awareness” program created during the first term of the Bush administration—an effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans’ privacy.
But “this is more than just a data center,” says one senior intelligence official who until recently was involved with the program. The mammoth Bluffdale center will have another important and far more secret role that until now has gone unrevealed. It is also critical, he says, for breaking codes. And code-breaking is crucial, because much of the data that the center will handle—financial information, stock transactions, business deals, foreign military and diplomatic secrets, legal documents, confidential personal communications—will be heavily encrypted. According to another top official also involved with the program, the NSA made an enormous breakthrough several years ago in its ability to cryptanalyze, or break, unfathomably complex encryption systems employed by not only governments around the world but also many average computer users in the US. The upshot, according to this official: “Everybody’s a target; everybody with communication is a target.”

To do what? Help protect Terrorists and others who are planning to harm people? What is your goal?
I don't see a threat to anyone not engaged in bad things.

Regardless, I'm not American or live in America so this really doesn't apply to me. Good luck guys.

Either we are going to clean up out government from the top down, or we can expect to become a slave nation. If this persists, what will it be like in a decade? I predict that before then we would have collapsed as a nation much like the USSR did.
