There is a global network of computers that automatically searches through millions of messages for pre-programmed key words, fax, telex, or email addresses. The computers rely on Echelon Dictionaries and computers that serve as branches for designated countries. In the United States governmental agencies vie for the use of spy satelites for similar purposes. The satelites are military in nature but civilian police agencies want to use them for so-called natural disaster response. Some legal experts are arguing that this has an impact on our Civil Liberties and should not be allowed. Hollywood has made movies about this topic- Enemy of the State, Echelon Conspiracy, Eagle Eye, and recently a television series Person Of Interest. Big Brother is watching!
