New World Notes - How the Government Spies on You
This week on New World Notes: Program #436, July 12, 2016, Tuesday from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst presents a talk by tech expert and civil-liberties activist Chris Soghoian.

It's not just the NSA and FBI: with federal funds, local police forces also are acquiring and using the latest secret surveillance technology. Citizens have been fighting back--often successfully--through the courts and the media.
Soghoian spoke in Seattle on March 11, 2016.
