The recent acts of the NSA remind me of Emperor Palpatine's (Ruler of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars/Ugly guy who likes to use force lightning) ISB, which he used as a secret police, which also happened to monitor every aspect of life in the Empire. However, as we must remember who ordered the ISB to do so, we must remember who ordered the NSA to do what they've been doing. That said, if one can draw connections between Star Wars and real life, it's usually a bad thing.
