What You Can't See...

... can most definitely hurt you (particularly when it comes to radiation)- but there's plenty mischief behind closed doors that can cause all manner of irreparable harm. Mark Klein and Edward Snowden can tell you that for sure. This unadorned, fortress like edifice belonging to none other than AT&T at 611 Folsom St. in downtown San Francisco is, to this day, passed by thousands (incl tech savvy hipsters) oblivious to the sanctum within that held the means to spy upon their daily, private lives. It was in a "secret" room on the third floor of this building some two presidents ago that the NSA began spying on the communications of American citizens- something most definitely not within the legal parameters of its very creation, something we still wouldn't know of to this day if it wasn't for the likes of those, unsung patriotic heroes called... Whistleblowers! 

Once again they're in the news- God bless 'em, each and every one!
