Under the Patriot Act the NSA gathers too much data, much of it using phone company and social media records. This week Congress partially renewed the Patriot Act with passage of the Freedom Act. As a side note, China hacked the federal Office of Personnel Management. Looks to me like privacy is an illusion.
Meanwhile, Edward Snowden spoke out in the Washington Post.
The TSA has been found to be 95% ineffective. According to the Washington Post,
Because of the extended drought in California, the largest desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere is being brought online. Hopefully this cartoon will prove to be a false prediction.
