The former official of the National Security Agency Bill Binney says U.S. is illegally collecting huge amounts of data on their citizens

Bill Binney believes he has helped to create a monster.

Sitting in the protected environment of an Olive Garden restaurant in the suburbs of Baltimore, the former senior National Security Agency (NSA) official still believes he has all the American people an apology.

Binney, a great teacher in his 60s, led the development of a secret code that software now believes it is illegal to collect huge amounts of information about their citizens. To staunch Republican, who worked for 32 years at the NSA, which is a nightmare come true civil liberties.

So Binney began to talk like a NSA whistleblower - an act that earned him an armed raid on his house FBI. "What happens is a violation of the constitutional rights of all the inhabitants of the country. It's very simple. Unable to associate with him," he told the Guardian.

Binney, a career NSA employee who first volunteered for the army in the 1960s, has become a thorn in the side of high-profile head NSA when they deny the existence of the program.

In a hacking conference in Las Vegas this summer, NSA director General Keith Alexander said the NSA "absolutely" does not keep the files of Americans.

"Anyone who tells you that we are in compliance with the files or folders on the American people know this is not true," Alexander told an audience of IT and security experts . however Binney was in the same conference and publicly accused Alexander to play a "play on words".

"Once the software recovers data profiles will be built in the world in data," said a panel of convention there.

Binney won media appearances on programs across the American political spectrum, ranging from the ultra-conservative Glenn Beck Program radio television icon of liberal democracy now.

"This is not a political issue. People on both sides are concerned," said Binney.

said Binney is one of the extreme over-reaction of the authorities of the United States national security post-9/11.

ThinThread correlates data e-mails, phone calls, credit card payments and internet research and mapping and stored so that they can be analyzed.

ThinThread Binney wanted to use to monitor external threats, but it worked very well maintained and data entry of Americans.

So the team built Binney ensures that encrypted data. But in 2000, the NSA has decided to go with the development of an outreach program called Trailblazer to be built by outside contractors (who ultimately did not exceed the design stage) and was actually suspended ThinThread .

Then last September 11. In a few weeks, says Binney, made ThinThread parts were now used by the NSA in a massive covert surveillance operation.

Binney gradually began to protest in the wings. However, that earned him a FBI raid by armed agents, shower at home. "Here's a guy who comes into my room and pointing a firearm. Did cooperated with them. Why are you doing this?" said.

In the last year has completely disappeared Public Binney, detailing what he believes to be a massive effort by the Obama administration to collect almost all electronic data in the country, the Facebook messages Google search e-mails.
