1. NSA Data Collection BY KEVIN WATSON

3. NSA Data Collection  Most of the concern involves the data collection program PRISM  Started in 2007  Is the NSA’s #1 source of raw intelligence  Made possible by the Patriot Act and certain 4 th amendment exceptions

6. Claim  The NSA website says “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”  I do not care what the NSA wants to do with my data. The NSA is a small part of the government controlled and funded by Congress. I do not worry about what they will do with my data.

7. Supporting Ideas  The necessary and proper clause from the U.S. Constitution  “The Congress shall have Power... To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.”  We vote for our representatives in Congress. We have control over this.

8. Conclusion  I do not worry about NSA’s data collection, but if you do you can voice your opinion to your representatives and hopefully get something done.
