If a government agency openly announced, today, that they would be indiscriminately collecting phone and internet data from Americans for the express purpose of putting it in a time capsule to be opened in 1,000 years, would you be pleased?
(FWIW, I would not.)

If a trove of private correspondence is found from an ancient civilization, that was clearly not meant for disseminatuon but intercepted unlawfully, do you think we should destroy it? I think it's okay to answer this question in the negative. But an argument could be made that people should have a right to privacy unbroken even by long posterity. What do you think of that question?
