"SAIC to Upgrade NSA Intercept Capabilities :.
$282 million dollars are about to be spent on Echelon (NSA surveillance systems designed to make sure you're not a troublemaker). They say this is part of the War to Save the Children, or something, but it's actually going to be used to intercept every email you send and receive, keep track of every web site you visit and parse all of your mostly inane instant messages."
there's also a reminder about Jam Echelon Day on Oct 21 - I've participated for the past couple of years...who knows what little success it's had but it's fun to do if you're bored and/or have a death wish that involves "assisted suicide" or "dissapearing"
it doesn't say but I wonder if this increased spending has anything to do with the propsed cybersecurity plan?
