[FedCom] Re Fact Or Fiction?

The mail was read, not just the headers -  Scanned the text body using the super
fast super computers searching for key words or phrases. When it found one, that
piece of mail got tagged for human review.

Consider this...

1. Fort Meade (NSA) is forbidden by law to conduct monitoring ops against
US locations and US citizens.
2.  The only person that does not know (I thought) that Alaska and Hawaii
are part of the US was Sen Kerry.
3.  With the way the internet works, how would you know if you are
monitoring a foriegn e-mail.  My web server (qcetech.com)is in Texas.
However another domain at the same location has a New Zealand domain name
(.nz).  So would you do it be IP.  Why then would not the BAD guy just
host at a US provider and use whatever domain they want...

my 2 cents
