Akkam’s Razor

Mark Klein, a retired AT&T communications technician, submitted an
affidavit in support of the EFF’s lawsuit this week. That class action
lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco last January, alleges
that AT&T violated federal and state laws by surreptitiously
allowing the government to monitor phone and internet communications of
AT&T customers without warrants.

“Despite what we are hearing, and considering the public track record
of this administration, I simply do not believe their claims that the
NSA’s spying program is really limited to foreign communications or is
otherwise consistent with the NSA’s charter or with FISA,” Klein’s
wrote. “And unlike the controversy over targeted wiretaps of
individuals’ phone calls, this potential spying appears to be applied
wholesale to all sorts of internet communications of countless
citizens.”
