Data mining is again in the news, with the report in USA Today about a controversial NSA activity of collecting and analysis (data mining ?) a huge database of nearly all US domestic calls, with the goal of finding potential terrorists.

The new KDnuggets Poll is addressing this and asking your opinion on this NSA activity:

• Disapprove - this is a vast, unchecked invasion of privacy, and mining will be ineffective
• Not sure how to balance these privacy and security issues
• Don't care
