This week I decided to read about the NSA and their involvement in monitoring American phone calls, emails, and other things electronically. The news was released about this only a couple years ago and as surprised as Americans were they mostly supported it. In a poll 63 percent said they were OK with the NSA monitoring phones and computers. Personally I agree with the majority of America. Monitoring phone calls should not be a big deal. The NSA has monitors in place that only pick up on key words. They also only target phones of those that are believed to be affiliated with terrorists. What is the big deal then? People believe that privacy is a right. These people are right when morally speaking, but nowhere in the constitution does it say that someone has the right to privacy while on the phone. I believe that as long as the NSA is targeting the right people and monitoring phone calls that are using key words that could lead to an attack they should have every right to listen in. I really don’t think that the NSA is going to be listening in on while you talk about what Becky was wearing to school today or who is driving the carpool this week. They are just doing what they have to in order to protect America. As the technological world advances so does the way in which we need to monitor it for potential threats. I would much rather have the NSA listening in than have another 9/11 or Boston bombing.
