…is actually summed up by one of my local buddies:
“To everyone who ever thought I was kidding or just spinning some conspiracy tales for kicks when I repeatedly said “The government is sniffing basically all your communications online”…
F@$k you people.”
Seriously. Next time large portions of the IT community tells you that there’s a high likelihood that the government is snooping through x communication (which it’s been doing for years… yes, this includes before the W.), maybe you’ll believe them. It’s not like there haven’t been sightings of men in suits showing up to datacenters and having NOC analysts install servers with no labels for years or anything, or documented cases of cell phones going into “listen” mode.
Remember… just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that they’re not really out to get you.
