May I just say, I am extremely happy that the NSA has to jump through such incredibly laborious hoops to gain a glimpse into anything, a capability which they would then fail to acknowledge at any price. This is the OPPOSITE of a dictatorship, where there would simply be a heavy-handed order to put in an explicit, acknowledged back door or be jailed without trial, or executed. This is what freedom looks like. Enjoy it! I personally also enjoy the fact that nobody with a few million dollars in spare change can surf the dark web as Dr. evil. But that's just me. EDIT: this comment is at -1, perhaps people thought I was making a ham-fisted sarcastic statement. I'm speaking literally. You all can keep either your dictatorship, or the society in which someone can commit an act of terrorism for the going black market rate without any repercussions; if it's a false dichotomy, you'll have to explain why. EDIT 2: this comment is fluctuating wildly (-2, +2, 0, etc) especially since my edit. Thoughtful replies would probably be more helpful than voting here.
