When we hear that the National Security Agency has a new generation
of programs that “revolutionize” data collection and analysis, we become
excited. When we learn that it is for the purpose of unlocking as many secrets
about individuals as possible, we become alarmed. It is important to recognize
that the NSA’s work centers their activities on counter terrorism, counter
proliferation and cyber security. Instead
of fearing our countries’ leaders and their innovations for protecting this
country, we must trust in their purpose. We have not climbed to the top of the mountain
without fear of instability. Danger of terrorism is growing, and any future
attack can bring us tumbling down. Joseph
Smith stated, “The time will come when the destiny of the nation will hang upon
a single thread.” With this in mind, any efforts to thicken the thread should be
acknowledged and valued .
The United States of America has never needed more uniting. Trust in the people
trying to protect this nation will replace the fears we may have of their
revolutionized methods and strengthen our country.
