NSA using TomTom data

NY Times: N.S.A. Gathers Data on Social Connections of U.S. Citizens.

A 2009 PowerPoint presentation provided more examples of data sources available in the “enrichment” process, including location-based services like GPS and TomTom, online social networks, billing records and bank codes for transactions in the United States and overseas.

Boy, it's a good thing that covert U.S. government surveillance data has never been used for political harassm.... Oh wait, never mind.
