Remember playing this back in 2003, it used to be considered "realistic" specially compared to Metal Gear Solid which was the competition(The promo was "stealth action redefined")...Anyways I always remembered these lines from the game, where it said the NSA was spying on all forms of communications....So I always assumed the American government was spying on us 24/7 but it wasn't until snowden that America actually learned this fact.

Now I know it's a video game, so maybe they just made this shit up.....but boi were they right.
The National Security Agency (NSA) is the signals intelligence (SIGINT) and cryptologic establishment of the United States. Primarily tasked with the conduct of SIGINT in all its forms, the NSA can and does intercept and analyze every form of communication known to man, from cellphone signals and e-mail messages, to microwave emissions, to ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) burst transmissions from submarines thousands of feet beneath the surface of the ocean.
