How can the USA spy on the entire EU and not find an international attack on this scale?
So many attackers coming from so many countries but the USA spying system which tracks all of our emails and phone calls and everything we do didn't find any clues that it is going to happen. Why is that so?

Any decent terrorist isn't going to plan their shit in the open

Clearly, but how can anyone claim the NSA is protecting the civilians from terror attacks?

Obvious government shill is obvious

Surveillance and spying have not stopped ONE big attack. Not ONE.

did testicles died?

BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS A TERRORIST, YOU TERRORIST! I TRUST NOBODY, EVEN MYSELF!

Are you fucking retarded? You're quite aware that European countries also have spy and intelligence agencies, right? If France can't detect this shit themselves, why would the US?

This is a misunderstanding and over exaggeration of surveillance capabilities. You might be able to collect and compress data and information on a massive scale, but you just can't sort through all of it. Also >>55680062
is correct.

The European intel agencies often buy/receive info on other countries phone calls etc from the USA. Even our audio recordings were handed to Croats by the Americans.
Espionage business becomes more effective the larger it grows. No one in the world has something as big as the NSA or the CIA. NSA gains much more information from the EU than all the EU countries combined. There is an affair slowly spurring in these days about how widespread the tapping done by NSA is in EU, but ofc you have to understand only 1-5% of the scale is leaked

Indeed, prevention of Islamic terrorism is too much for the surveillance state to achieve. But what is the surveillance state intended for.
>>55679904
nearly all us intelligence is based on sigint
they didn't speak/plan over the phone or computer or near one

Should we change our laws so that terrorists have to coordinate their actions over the telephone or facebook?
Again, if surveillance state is ineffective, why is it there?

It's pretty effective if they can't use the internet and phones. They are tools designed to aid communication. Since, terrorists can't communicate as freely as they could with the technology; the policies are effective.

you think open borders could be countered by surveillance?
