On Jordan’s commentary on the NSA “Thecost of Anonymity”, I will have to say I agree with him one hundred percent. He mentions that although the NSA says that they aren’t evading our privacy and is only doing it to protect us, perhaps 10-20 years they will have much more control over us. Also, the information they are gathering now can affect us in the future. Even if it’s something that we didn’t meant or had intentions to be negative. Jordan seems to be against the NSA tactics of gathering data.

 I think that these are baby steps. The outcome will be that they will know everything about us and privacy would no longer exist to a U.S citizen. The NSA already has a lot of invasive control on us. We are discouraged of what we want to say because it can have consequences. Things can be used against us. Our amendments will then be compromised. Which, they already are.  I don’t think this is the best way to keep our country secure. It is to invasive and non-constitutional. Perhaps under programs should be tested to see if it has a different affect. In the future if this keeps going on, I ask myself “what else will they do?’’, how far will they take it? I don’t know and I don’t want to find out. Which is why I think it needs to be stopped now.

The NSA should not be given so much power over us. It should only be used against real threats like terrorists. Not people who they think are terrorists but that they are actually involved with terrorist groups.
