The FBI confirmed this week that drones are carrying out surveillance within the United States. FBI
Director Robert Mueller called the drone use "very seldom," while
acknowledging regulations to address privacy concerns have yet to be
completed. Meanwhile, in the latest leak of classified National Security
Agency material, The Guardian reported Thursday that the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court has signed off on rules that appear to
grant wide latitude to the NSA in retaining
and making use of Americans’ private data, rather than "minimizing" its
usage. We discuss the latest issues of domestic surveillance with Heidi
Boghosian, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild and author
of the forthcoming book, "Spying on Democracy: Government Surveillance,
Corporate Power and Public Resistance." Boghosian examines the
increasing monitoring of ordinary citizens, and the corporations that
work with the government to mine data collected from a wide range of
electronic sources.
