The US just passed a budget that gives $60 billion to secret surveillance programs. Its both a sign of their vast power that they get so much money, as well as their bureaucratic incompetence that they only now can unlock most cellphones.

And let’s not even talk about the potential for political meddling.

The NSA is the largest employer in Maryland. It is estimated that the NSA employs 30,000-40,000 people, if I recall. They can’t even tell us the real number for security reasons or something.
