Today's efforts to keep us safe

Today, we learned that the CIA monitors international money transfers, many of which are made by Western Union.  This is probably not as bad as other monitoring in that they are not - yet - monitoring purely domestic transfers or bank-to-bank transactions.  Furthermore, there is the Bank Secrecy Act which grants some legal authority. 

Still, it's another government agency spying on more files.
