They have access to usernames and passwords, your webcam and mic, your emails, your phone calls, and they can even intercept your mail to place spying devices inside of your new computers.
WTF they can turn on your mic at any time? You gotta be kidding me
Wow nothing really new here, just a step up to another level. Pre 9/11 there would have been million man protests, Kiev style.
Annnnnd I bet nothing happens or changes.. and we forget about it by Wednesday because American Idol will be on.
The NSA are the true traitors.
