The NSA is signals intelligence and while they do tap your internet [1], they don't abduct humans. By your logic, the coast guard is also making citizens "disappear". You've been watching way too many movies.

No one claimed the NSA does (although I do not personally believe they are only SigInt)

The claim was "US Govt.", NSA was only used in reference to law suits where they use national security to get cases tossed.
