Satellite Radio Installation Used for Surveillance.

---

When considering satellite radio installation, think about how satellite technology is being used to spy on private citizens.

In the years since 2001, the use of surveillance has been greatly expanded.

The people are told the surveillance is necessary for national security and is only used to monitor terrorists.

However, the protections offered by the Constitution and FISA have been eroded with new legislation, which expands wiretapping and surveillance authority.

Citizens have been subject to surveillance in telephone calls and email messages, which are monitored by the telecommunications industry and turned over to the government.

As long as they identify someone as a suspected terrorist, the government doesn’t need a warrant to conduct electronic surveillance or sneak and peek searches.

Surveillance is made easier with satellite radio installation and tracking devices.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978

FISA was signed into law in 1978 and outlined the use of surveillance in collecting foreign intelligence.

The law came about when Senate committees began to investigate and question certain activities in the intelligence community, particularly the use of covert surveillance on political activists.

Foreign intelligence surveillance would be allowed for a period of up to one year, without a court order.

The caveat in the law was that the surveillance couldn’t be used for communication that involved American citizens.

Amendments to FISA

The Terrorist Surveillance Act of 2006 gave the president the authority to use electronic surveillance, if the person is suspected of being a terrorist.

At the same time, a measure was introduced to offer retroactive amnesty on covert surveillance conduced prior to the passage of the Terrorist Surveillance Act.

The Protect America Act of 2007 eased the restrictions on terrorist surveillance further, as long as at least one of the people involved in the conversation is located outside the United Sates.

This surveillance, often using satellite radio installation, has been loosely interpreted by some as including physical searches, conduced without a warrant.

Notice how they use names like Patriot and Protect America to elicit a response and get people to trust.

Surveillance and the U.S. Constitution

The increasing atmosphere of surveillance in the United States puts the country in a constitutional crisis.

As a result of changes to FISA, the Patriot Act and the Department of Homeland Security, the average American has lost some basic protections offered by the Constitution.

A basic protection offered in the Constitution is the protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

Every day, this right is violated, as the government conducts widespread surveillance of people in the United States.
