“How is the data processed?”

– THIS IS OUTSIDE MY “NEED TO KNOW.”  SNOWDEN IS A TRAITOR FOR AIDING AND ABETTING OUR NATION'S ENEMIES.

 “…is it scanned realtime and only the hits recorded OR is all the data stored and then scanned - and are you OK with one or both?”  

- PROBABLY BOTH (DISCOVER A SUSPECT CONNECTION[S] AND THEN REVIEW HISTORIES OF THOSE CONNECTIONS) – I’M OKAY WITH THE NSA PROCESS AS I UNDERSTAND IT. MY FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED.

“My fear is that it would take very little to change the algorithm to search for whatever someone wants to know.”

- I DON’T FEAR THE NSA BECAUSE THEY AREN’T INTERESTED IN ME. THEIR CHARTER IS TO DISCOVER THE SOURCE[S] OF THREAT[S] AND REFER THEM FOR ACTION.

 “If we are storing information for possible use at a later date, our freedoms are gone already…”

- THEN YOU ARE CORRECT, WITH THE OBAMACARE [HHS] DATA CENTER, YOUR FREEDOMS ARE ALREADY GONE. THE OBAMACARE DATA IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED, POORLY EXECUTED, AND IS NOT VERY SECURE. YOU ARE AT RISK AND AT THE WHIM OF THE PARTY IN POWER.  

“…if we just correct (collect? SIC) data on an ‘as needed’ basis, I think you are naive to believe that the benefits outweigh the losses.”

- IF YOU SAY THAT I AM NAÏVE TO TRUST THE NSA… THEN I AM NAÏVE… BUT REMEMBER, “OUR INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE EFFECTIVE 100% OF THE TIME… THE TERRORISTS NEED ONLY BE RIGHT 1% OF THE TIME..”

BUT, I AM NOT SO NAÏVE [OR STUPID] AS TO BELIEVE THAT MY PRIVACY AND FREEDOM IS SAFE AND SECURE UNDER THE OBAMACARE DATA SYSTEM.
