Everybody is Listening
With all the commotion on terrorism, especially after September 11th, the National Security Agency has a global electronic system that is used to listen and eavesdrop on all types of communication. This system used is called the Echelon Network. The FBI states that over the years they have been able to prevent other terrorists attacks through the use of this special network. Whether this may be true or not, the system is highly used and then translated through professionals who determine if a threat has occured. Echelon is able to pick up on different formats of communication, such as satelitte, towers, and fober-optic cables. We may not be able to completely prevent terrorism, but technology can certainly help us try.

Echelon is very interesting. Try to provide links in your post and always search for previous posts on the same topic. This was already covered in a post on 12/6.
