Does everyone feel safe and secure now?

Reuters) - President Barack Obama banned U.S. eavesdropping on the leaders of close friends and allies on Friday and began reining in the vast collection of Americans' phone data in a series of limited reforms triggered by Edward Snowden's revelations.

In a major speech, Obama took steps to reassure Americans and foreigners alike that the United States will take into account privacy concerns highlighted by former spy contractor Snowden's damaging disclosures about the sweep of monitoring activities of the National Security Agency (NSA).

"The reforms I'm proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe," he said.


I know my favortite one is the fox guarding the henhouse with the proposed
secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) looking after us!

Yesterday, CNN's Crossfire poll was on which people prefer: Privacy or Security. I think the only good answer is both.
