The Iowa City "Restore the Fourth" folks ("Fourth" as in 4th Amendment) held a rally on the Ped Mall yesterday (Aug. 4) at which I was invited to speak.

It provided an incentive and opportunity to summarize, organize and present some of my recent thoughts about the NSA's domestic surveillance programs.

Here is the full text of the remarks delivered on that occasion: "The Future of Surveillance, and How to Stop It."
