This wouldn't be necessary if the (U.S.) government respected its constitution (1st, 4th amendments).

We talked about Silent Circle on our show on CNI Radio on Saturday night. Sounds like a pretty good service.

it is a good service to keep me from seeing your stuff.

nothing prevents our uncle from reading it.

good encryption is illegal in every country in the world.

odd too that the world's fastest super computer (per ibm) is now in the hands of the nsa.

of course, such agencies have always had nearly the (if not the) fastest computers around.
they have to, our safety (snicker, snicker) depends on it.
