The thing that surprises me most…

The NSA paid Google and Facebook millions to spy on taxpayers

The National Security Agency reimbursed some of the nation’s top tech companies for participating in its PRISM surveillance program, according to new leaked government documents. Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook all received payments after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruled some of the NSA’s surveillance to be unconstitutional.

…about this whole NSA/Surveillance State/Spooky Spook story is how many people seem to be surprised by it. 

Also, in passing, if you're concerned about somebody looking over your shoulder the NSA is quite possibly the least of your worries.
