Subject: General Michael Hayden makes a bold statement about how the NSA operates: We Kill People Based On Meta Data Wed May 28, 2014 5:15 am
The former boss of the NSA claims that they ‘Kill people based on meta-data’. General Michael Hayden didn’t go into much more details regarding that statement, but the video provides some insight into how the NSA monitors domestic and international phone records.
I don’t think Hayden meant that they send a drone out to kill someone if you say “death to America” too many times in one phone call, but it makes you think twice about what information you are providing across digital mediums. While the NSA claims it does not actively monitor domestic communications, I have a hard time believing that it’s not being done on some level.
