Running head: DOMESTIC SURVEILLANCE 2
Have you ever wondered if you ever being watched? Almost like every time you go through a stop light or at an ATM machine, that someone knows your every move? Well they do, they are everywhere all over the United States and it is called Domestic Surveillance. They have intelligence agencies that interpret signals, Information Assurance, and Domestic Surveillance. They are all part of the Domestic Surveillance Directorate. They would intercept, decrypt, and analyze foreign adversaries communications. Information Assurance involves the protection of Americas government information systems. Domestic Surveillance collects all domestically-generated information streams. Their mission is to collect, process, and store U.S. Citizen data for the good of the Nation. The people who would work in these offices take all this information that comes in from all over and uses to decode whom may be trying to threaten our nation. Their motto is, “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
Their main goal is to search for terrorist or potential terrorist so that nothing bad will happen to us or the Nation as a whole. They have many different partners in crime or those that help to fight crime you can say all over the United States. They all link up and support one another with leads and information as it becomes available. The USA PATRIOT Act was passed in 2001 so that many people or companies can unite and help one another by linking up and communicating with what information that they may have on terrorist or possible terrorist to deter them. All this information is available 24 hours a day and is index and stored and shared
