Yes what we need is more surveillance. Spending money we don't have.

Now I would like a declaration from Cable Bahamas that they are not allowing NSA to tap into their backbone. Not that it matters if the cable is tapped into at the USA end though bout would still count for something.

Indeed do not be uppity and blame the USA on this one. It is the DEA's and NSA's job to spy. Only a complete moron would give them the keys to the fort.

Then Christie owns it. So does Cable and Wireless. They should have stood up to government to protect their customers' privacy. Heads must roll in government for this, if Christie had any integrity he would resign. Since he does not they will blame everybody including God for this.

It was the government owned and run BTC that gave unrestricted access to the DEA to the network layer of the cell phone system where nothing is encrypted. They are (both the FNM and PLP must have been involved) now trying to sound all indignant and outraged because the DEA (which is a spy organization as well as drug cops) gave access to it to the NSA. It is impossible for this level of access without government directive. I wonder if they forgot to mention the existence of this tap to Cable and Wireless when they sold them half of BTC?

When will someone steal a boat and ram that fucking dredger?

I got a cheaper solution: throw them in jail.

While I would not mind all the MPs scrubbing the prison's toilets I don't see what help the government should give? The prisons have plenty man power to do the cleaning.

" independent body, without interference from government officials. "
Who are they trying to bullshit?

Hurray. Let's destroy the very thing that would be the reason for people come and visit in the first place. And Bahamians are taking it like sheep. Sabotage it!!!
