PBS FRONTLINE: Spying on the Home Front
PBS FRONTLINE has done a story on Mark Klein, who worked for AT&T for over 20 years as a technician. He tells the story of how he accidentally discovered the whole flow of internet traffic in AT&T operations centers was being diverted to the NSA on a regular basis.

Your daily transactions on the Internet can be monitored with this kind of system, not just your Web surfing. All kinds of business that people do on the Internet these days — your bank transactions, your e-mail, everything — it sort of opens a window into your entire private life, and that’s why I thought of the term “Orwellian.” As you know, in [George] Orwell’s story [1984], they have cameras in your house, watching you. Well, this is the next best thing.
