Total Situational Awareness aka Big Brother . . .

thriving under the Obama Administration:

Just last month, the agency began building a new data facility at its home in Fort Meade. That facility, when complete in 2016, will another 70,000 square feet of space. Using our calculation of server space above — 116 petabytes per 2,410 square feet — even if we assume an equivalent amount of space needed for support infrastructure, those 170,000 square feet could host about 4.09 exabytes. And that's only new capacity. The NSA also has existing storage facilities of unknown scale. The New York Times reported that those include facilities of some sort in Virginia, New Jersey, Georgia, and San Francisco.

Why are all police states assumed to be Orwellian? What if they were Platonic?

 You'll hunt NSA. You'll condemn NSA, set the dogs on NSA. Because that's what needs to happen.

San Francisco doesn't seem like the most logical place to put one of these facilities.  Just wasting tax payer money with that one.

The only way we can achieve perfect security is for us to become perfect slaves.
