The CIA uses the National Clandestine Servive as a way to operate or perform their cover operations. They have a school that candidates attend when accepted to train in the CIA. What does the NSA use? Is it the same as what the CIA uses since it's a national service?

There is no HUMINT operational side of the NSA.  To the extent that it has one, it is the DIA, as both are DoD components.

I'm sorry...I'm confused, are you a military officer asking a leading question about a conspiracy between the CIA and the MOSSAD to frame the president of Russia? Please clarify?

Since the NSA only targets known terrorists and their associates and must meet the requirement that at least on party be outside of US sovereign territory, most Americans will never have to worry about terrorist spying program.\n\nIf you are not the target of an NSA investigation, there is no legal way for your rights to be violated. This is the precise reason why courts do not allow you to sue unless you can quantify damages. If there are no damages, your rights have not been violated.\n\nThe NSA can target my neighbor, my mother, my boss or my ice cream salesman. All of THEIR right may or may not have been violated. If I am not the target of an NSA investigation, there is no way for MINE to be violated.\n\nI have been a soldier for the last 15 years. HU-AHH!!\n\nEDIT: Barbra_Eden - You were just suspended for spreading lies like this.

The Secret Service. It also provides presidential security.

It is better to list it and explain it.  Since this is for a security clearance, they will most likely find it anyway.  It is better to list.

The NCIC may be used for law enforcement purposes only. I have clearance as well, being a police dispatcher access is limited to necessity as well as security.

national security doesn't just help individuals. people who value privacy more than the sanctity of human life should admit themselves to a f***in insane asylum. at least that way they wouldn't run the chance of withholding valuable information from the government that could help prevent loss of more American citizens, however disgusting some may be. like those self-centered a**holes concerned about their privacy. "oh, the government is trying to spy on us". Oh, grow a f***in spine! the only reason these people are complaining is because they have something to hide. to those people i say, hide your secrets up your a** like all the other drug smugglers or in your shoes like that one bomber sh**head!

i know from my time in the navy you can be court marshaled for saying corrupt things about the president and any other high ranking officals. if i remember it right its borderline treason, which according to military law you can be put to death for. and for those that dont know the NSA tracks everything you do on the internet, its included with the patriot act. so anything you say wrong about the president or the government is tracked and logged. and then anytime you log on it red flags your ip address so you can be tracked online.

Yes, the NSA hires cryptologists, and many of them solely work on breaking codes and finding new ways of coding information.

area 51 is an actuall site what it holds is classified but the area is there and it has an active perimiter. It's still in use but nobody really knows what it's used for.

The CIA does not do such things.\n\nThis does not seem to have anything to do with statistics.

The United States Government would not be able to train and hire that many FBI agents. There are over 300 million people in this country.\n\nAnd besides, we still have the 1st Amendment.

Obviously, you are not an American. If you were, you would know that people do speak out about the government here on a regular basis.\nWith no consequence, I might add. If it were something of a really serious nature, the news media picks it up (or you inform them yourself), and it's left to the government to either ignore or refute the information.\nThe only instance that I can think, that the CIA would even bother with you, or try to silence you, would be if your information was a threat to national security. And then the likely consequence would only be you finding yourself spending some time in a high security federal prison, until the threat has passed.\nPeople in this country usually have more to fear from being what we call a "whistleblower", on some large business corporation. Those are the people who may end up fearing for their lives, or that of their families. The large corporations don't like having their wrongdoings exposed.\nI find it interesting though, that people in other countries try to equate our system with that of their own. Where they are not allowed to speak so freely without fear of retribution. They can't seem to understand that it isn't that way everywhere. Especially in the USA.

When the police begin investigating serious crimes they pull phone records all of the time; and without warrants.  These records are merely what numbers called other numbers and who is associated to them, what time the calls are etc....these records are kept for some period of time no matter what the NSA does - or you do.  This is just media and anti Bush frenzy material and nothing more.

First off, Domestic Warrentless Spying is a misnomer.  For decades, the government can listen to calls without a warrent, and then go for a warrent afterwards.  In this case, the Bush administration used executive power to say that a warrent isn't even needed after the fact, which is something the Clinton adminstration did as well.  It is not to monitor your calls to your friends.  It is to monitor calls that are received from and placed to known terrorists overseas.\nSecond, Congress passed a law which Bush signed, creating strict restrictions against torture and affirming that it is illegal.  So, Bush isn't supporting torture.

Canada has quite the force in Afghanistan at the moment (my husband will join them next year) Canada has high security measures, we don't centralize our secret service or armed forces.  We have a national police force, the RCMP.  As well as the socialist ideal that the good of the many outweigh the rights of a few.

national security is the shortest answer...the need for creeps and spooks to be silent when investigating, spying sabataging (sp), or otherwise doing dirty work on the enemy, in the name of 'national security.'  Success is in the secrecy, openness, and we are defeated...sorry bout that.
