> The NSA literally has the right to spy on you
Wow. Seriously, why would you think they had that right?
If the link in their HN profile is to be believed, the person you are replying to is almost certainly a US citizen. The NSA is not authorized for domestic surveillance, as General Alexander admitted when he perjured himself in front of Congress[1]. It's in their charter, it's in the 4th Amendment and a couple hundred years of legal precedent. We even addressed these limitations in the Church Committee.
So I really don't understand why you would believe they had the right to spy on domestic targets. Besides, the game played by the FVEY members is letting GCHQ do the spying on US targets, not the NSA.
