Spying on NSA Analysts

In my prior post I looked at how obvious, reasonable and absolutely logical it is that the NSA must record and analyze all communications of employees as well as contractors to assure security of SCI related programs.

The NSA analysts in these programs must know that!  That is what they do!  Do they specifically agree to this as a condition of employment or do they agree with the reasoning that if they have nothing to hide then they have no need to fear constant personal monitoring.  Just like the NSA would enjoy a public attitude that if we have nothing to hide then we have nothing to fear.

Interesting to know how the NSA analysts feel about this.  It is my opinion that they are given an interview test to determine if they are a type of person that believes that in order for the government to protect the people certain rules and regulations must be circumvented in order to do their job.

Might the NSA analysts have the feeling that someone is watching them all the time?  How do they feel about that?  A bit paranoid?  Probably not if they agree that in order to protect our country even they must be monitored on a level equal to terrorists.

Does everybody have something to hide?  Not hidden if you work in a sensitive position at the NSA
