MYSTIC (surveillance program)

Mystic is like a big ear that can hear everything people are saying on the phone or on the internet. It's used by the government to listen to what people are talking about so they can make sure everyone is safe. It's like when Mom and Dad talk to each other and you try to listen in, but on a much bigger scale. However, this can be bad because it means the government is always listening to our conversations and that's not very nice.
