NSA data will soon routinely be used for domestic policing

Apart from it being disturbing, as a non-American I am finding it hilarious that this infrastructure you have built to spy on me is only concerning to you when it is turned on yourselves.

With all this talk of "Americans being spied on" all I can say, as a non-American, is welcome to the club.

One benefit to this is that it will bring data collection methods (and legality) out into the light. Before the NSA would never take someone to trial for a petty crime because they'd have to reveal their secrets.

I'm hoping this leads to some ground breaking, pro-democracy, pro-constitution court cases. Hoping...

Thanks Obama!

Let me guess that party in power will see it that it is National Security that they stay in power?

Maybe use big data bayesian statistics to predict voters that will vote against them.
