Instead of keeping blindly fixated on just terrorism, I would like to see them work to prevent the next global financial crisis by gathering and analyzing metadata from financial terrorists like the big banking insiders who orchestrate crises and cash out from them.<p>At the top of the list, we can start with examining the metadata of NSA employees and their family members and contacts. Who cashed out, with what insider information, and who at the NSA are they connected to who had access to this information?<p>NSA, how about you turn this information over to the SEC so they can investigate whether you are involved in financial terrorism? It's just metadata.
