The same 'folks' who (1) were tipped off on a suspect by the Russian authorities (2) interviewed the suspect in the last 2 years (3) had photographs of him at the scene (4) could not identify him from the photos in their possession (5) finally caught him because he shot a Boston cop and (6) a carjack victim left his cell phone on in the stolen car?

You should first watch Closet

You should first watch Closet Land:

Set in an unspecified country, Madeline Stowe's character, a children's book author, is taken from her home in the middle of the night, accused of embedding anarchistic messages into her book, entitled Closet Land. The book is a story about a child who, as a result of bad behaviour, has been locked in a closet as punishment. While in there, the child is greeted by a group of childhood ally archetypes who innocently attempt to comfort the scared little girl. The seemingly simple content is questioned by the government, which accuses the author of encouraging and introducing anarchism among its audience of naïve children.

That's one way to deal with it. But they're likely to drag you in just to explain what you're writing. I've decided all my posts will now be written at a 10th grade level to be absolutely sure there's no misunderstanding with the folks at the NSA. Its also good practice in case I ever want to write a Time/Life book.

Yes, I am encrypting all my digital data and then destroying the key to foil the NSA digital dragnet.

I may even quit posting 50 times a day to Facebook as they don't have a system to encrypt my likes.

In November 2007, David Foster Wallace posed Benjamin Franklin's question of how much freedom we would be willing to give up for a little security in the cybernetic age. Is the public willing to accept the risk of attack that politician's will argue will come if we lift our guard?

The weak link in the ability

The weak link in the ability of our government, foreign governments or hackers to access data on all of us is the amount of data that corporations keep on all of us. Whether we buy a pack of chewing gum online or join a social network, we give up information without or consent. We are tracked so the company can send us other products, or sell our buying habits to other corporations.

Governments and hackers would have to track us down individually if corporations did not feel that our data belonged to them merely because we bought chewing gum.

Working on privacy issues has to deal with what corporations can consider their right to track us in addition to curbing government snooping.

Apparently holed up in Hong Kong - guess didn't like Hotel Ecuador. Comments below the article are pretty scary. Many people don't have a sense of right to privacy vs. worry about terror.
