NEWS The US National Security Agency (NSA) was bombarded with email from protesters yesterday, according to Associated Press, after it was revealed that the agency was eavesdropping on emails looking for terrorist activity. The NSA declined to comment on either the allegations it had been caught spying on emails or the impact the email protest had on its systems. However, security experts were pessimistic about the likelihood of the protest having any effect at all on the NSA, as its systems are designed to screen out any email 'noise' that may be thrown up by the organisations it routinely monitors.
