NSA technology capable of retrieving and replaying month-old phone calls

The National Security Agency has technology capable of recording all the phone calls of an entire country and replaying them later, a report based on leaked documents said Tuesday.

The Washington Post, citing documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, said the technology functions like a time machine by being able to reach into the past.

The report said the NSA can collect 100 percent of the calls of a country and reach as far back as one month with the tools called MYSTIC and RETRO.

The leaked documents say the tools can “retrieve audio of interest that was not tasked at the time of the original call.”

1. I had said that a LOT, last year.

There are a couple of software packages available to ANYONE, right now, that will record all of your calls and then search through the conversation for keywords.

Ignored or shot down by apologists.

2. Exactly!

It wasn't like the numbers were that unreasonable.

But as the apologists say, "prove it" because they're well aware the game is rigged to the point where you have broken the law if you do.
