as part of the war on terror. The National Security Agency is one of America's largest intelligence organizations. It is similar to the FBI and CIA. It specializes in codebreaking and code making, and provides secret and private information to US political and military leaders. There are two broad “missions” outlined on NSA’s website.

As a child, even if I was terrified of the prospect of the boogeyman I swore lived under my bed, I had to knock—to ask permission—to enter my parent’s private space so I could be reassured that my room was a bogeyman free zone.

Americans are not entitled to privacy. The topic of privacy has been a widely discussed topic for centuries in the United States. The one that argues that government surveillance is unconstitutional has not fully read and analyzed the document in its entirety. The word privacy is not written once throughout the entire constitution. America is known as the “free world” and without the government’s use of its resources to protect the free world, the average American will no longer be able to sing…

The government could monitor on people religious and political institutions, which people had to think before they speak out because the government had the power to judge it without any evidence.
