This was likely glossed over and suppressed here in the U.S. In yet
another bit of fallout resulting from the Snowden releases, it is clear
Scotland was yet another country the NSA was surveilling in the PRISM
Program. From all appearances (of course the program is still top secret
even though it has been exposed) the NSA was and is attempting to setup
a worldwide surveillance state. Since the U.S. government hasn't reigned in the spooks, it will continue indefinitely. Most people I speak to about PRISM and the Worldwide Surveillance Network state: "I'm not doing anything wrong, I don't care if they're surveilling me." These people don''t realize the criteria the government chooses to apply to determine who to surveil or target for something more than surveillance is, at the civilian level, undefined. Citizens aren't told what the criteria are, it's secret. Citizens are not notified when they are targeted. Also consider that it is always changing. How would we know what behaviors to avoid? For example, what if they decided to target people with an anti-Muslim sentiment? Or because a person visited a particular website?
Total security translates to inhumanity. Innocent people always get hurt due to vague targeting criteria and abuse of the system for personal objectives and financial gain. Realize this is only one piece of a much larger mechanism.
