Why won't our security state stop the telemarketers?

[johnnyreb]

They attack our way of life and terrorize our elders.

Can't our safety-industrial-complex see the huge public relations opportunity?

You are either with Us, or you are with the telemarketers.

1. Funny enough, that was the single benefit of the bush administration.

He did enact the No-Call List which has greatly reduced telemarketing calls.

I wonder if history will judge that more significant than murdering hundreds of thousands for personal profit?

3. Spoofing makes do-not-call worthless.

The spammers spoof their way right through the do-not-call list, and use the NSA's own stomping ground telecom infrastructure as an attack vector. You and I might can block numbers and otherwise adapt every other day, but our elders do not want to change their decades-old phone numbers or otherwise spend their precious time engaging this onslaught.

2. because corporate profit is a priority of the security state.

Terrorism is only a concern as it relates to " American (business) " interests. A large part of the spying is really just government subsidized corporate espionage.
