WASHINGTON ?- A little-known spy agency that analyzes imagery taken from the skies has been spending significantly more time watching U.S. soil.
In an era when other intelligence agencies try to hide those operations, the director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, is proud of that domestic mission.
Is this agency wrong also,or is this somehow "different"?
I've not been comfortable with the number of camera's going up at street corners to watch people, but if caught on one I'm in public. Everyone present can see me entering Sears, the camera's within the store can see what I buy.
An agent for the government can drive by my property and see where I live. They do have my address.
Camera's in the sky seeing my property, what car I own, or even watching me get my mail, is no different from my neighbors seeing the same things. It's outside. It's public.
That is much different from the government making a database of who I call, when, and how long I talk, let alone being able to listen to what we say without a warrant. My phone is inside my house. I should be able to feel secure within my home that what I say and do is private..
If I'm on my cell phone in public, I know to act / speak accordingly. But, within my home? That's private. Get out!
