NSA scandal

I’d like to make a brief observation about the latest scandal engulfing the Obama administration. Even liberals are decrying the NSA spying on all Verizon customers. However, the same liberals decry the profiling of demographic groups at higher risk of terrorism (e.g. single Muslim males).

Well, the alternative to targeted profiling is universal surveillance. Everyone becomes a suspect. Conversely, if you object to the NSA dragnet, then the alternative is to surveil groups more likely to commit terrorism. Liberals are caught in their own dilemma.

  1. Regardless of results, whether attacks are stopped or not, this behavior is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!. We could prevent child sexual victimization and murders by simply arresting anyone with a sex offender status and executing every person suspected of murder but unfortunately this also, is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
