Miss USA Runner-Up Praises NSA Surveillance: ‘I’d Rather Someone Track My Phone…’

Source: Mediaite

<snip>

Pageant judge Wendie Malick asked the eventual runner-up whether the government tracking of phone records constitutes “an invasion of privacy or [is] necessary to keep our country safe?”

“It’s sad that if we go to the movies, or to the airport, or even to the mall, that we have to worry about our safety,” McCord replied. “I would rather someone track my phone messages and feel safe wherever I go than feel like they’re encroaching on my privacy.”

It's too easy.

Miss USA, Miss Universe, whatever, they're all as useless as the British monarchy.

Just like this poor deluded girl who thinks she is safer because she is being followed, many DUers and many sheeple are runnerups when it comes to being really free.
