Interesting quotation:
"It's safe to assume that if an organisation like the NSA is told it may
do something then it will. This can be extended to: if the NSA isn't
told it can't do something then it probably does."
Even those of us in the USA find our communications (legally)
scrutinised by the NSA, when it crosses borders -- or probably even when
it goes through uplinks that service overseas connections.
> With the recent events, can we expect a more intrusive scheme ?
I wouldn't doubt it. Remember, gnupg, OpenSSH, and SSL are your
friends.
