Apparently, the reason for excessive surveillance isn&#x27;t because of government and NSA overreach, it&#x27;s because of the administrators of the systems used to do the surveillance.<p>Incredible! At least they&#x27;ll be monitoring everyone, but doing it badly now.

Wonder what percent of those system administrators given the axe are going to walk out the door with tons of information.<p>Any would be whistleblowers among those that are likely to be cut now have more incentive to produce smoking gun evidence.
