Reactions to surveillance stories
I am mystified why anyone would assume that NSA ***and their counterparts
in other countries around the globe*** aren't monitoring international
communications conduits. It's been known for many decades that they do
this -- all the way back to the dawn of telegraphy, one way or
another. That's what they do! Nobody is going to unilaterally
withdraw. That's why for years I've argued for robust, opportunistic
encryption. This isn't rocket science. Seriously.
