NSA Spying What is the NSA? The NSA is the national security agency. The NSA is steadily watching people by satellites for terrorist acts. They also could watch anybody that they wanted too. No body that I know of likes to be watched constantly. I do not feel safe with the NSA being able to watch my every move, because it makes me uncomfortable.

They should not even be in the U.S. if they are a threat to us. I do not think that the NSA should be able to spy on people domestically. I for one do not think they should be able to spy on me or anyone whether it’s on their phones, computers, or whether they are watching us from
