NSA restraints? Yes we can! (not)
40hz:
^Of course there is. They even have a snazzy logo. ;D
Tuxman:
Aw neat.
See, this is a good example of a political party which would never had allowed the NSA things to happen. Why didn't they get enough attraction? Right: because they are not "the ones" nor "the others".
Sigh.

SUMMARY: When all was said and done...very little was said, and virtually nothing was done.
...
The NYT lists the changes. It's insubstantial.

Nothing said? They said they're going to continue.
Nothing done? They stayed the course.
Insubstantial? They affirmed that they're going to continue exactly what they're doing now, but perhaps with a minor tweak here or there.
Your tax dollars at work! Perhaps this thread might be useful. ;)

The speech was supposed to be about reforms and changes to be made to government surveillance programs.
Therefore: Nothing of substance was said. Nothing of any substance will be done. And whatever else was being offered as a proposed course of 'action' is insubstantial when viewed in that context.

Stoic Joker:
To me their intentions are and have been made crystal clear in the handling of the standards for commercial encryption issue. It was carefully ignored. e.g. The security of and for "We The People" is irrelevant to the NSA.
So all of the security technologies available to us today are in reality completely pointless academic waste of time/money/energy placeboes. Because regardless of how complex they are locks only keep out honest people ... And that assumes they were designed to work correctly in the first place.
The web was a much safer place when Anonymous was running amuck.
