A nagging thought on NSA surveillance, not terrorism related.

[1-Old-Man]

I have to wonder how it is that this all inclusive surveillance has not resulted in the arrest and convictions of hundreds and hundreds of white collar criminals and in fact even whatever color collar common criminals wear too. And if the NSA is all over the internet then how is it that the creators of all manner of destructive viruses aren't in jail too. You'd think with all its capability the NSA would be doing work that it is uniquely qualified to do and would actually be useful to those of us (taxpayers) who pay for its existence. Or to say it bluntly, they are so god damned good and we are paying for them why aren't they doing useful work for us?
