School District Security Head Takes Call From NSA, Starts Secret Student Social Media Monitoring Program

While the NSA is gathering data on Americans (on purpose) as well as their communications (supposedly inadvertently), one thing it doesn‘t do is call up school district security staffers and tell them about threats being made on Facebook.
