Tim Martin vs. The NSA

Might Times- Standard columnist Tim Martin have a libertarian streak to him? Maybe so with him wondering if this is a free country. He writes today about government snooping. He's concerned.
 
Many aren't, especially when their party is in control of the White House. Had a Democrat/Green friend tell me the other day in so many words he thinks the spying is a good thing. 

I don't have much of a problem with government spying on bad guys overseas, but question just how much of our intelligence effort is focused there. I asked my friend if he'd ever seen pictures of the buildings used by the National Security Agency. 

As the picture shows, they're huge, and I believe that's just one of them. Must be thousands of people working in that building alone, and they can't all be spying overseas. And that's just one building of one agency. Don't forget the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the rest.

We are being watched. What else are those spy agencies and all their people going to do?
