My understanding is that the aegis of National Security isn't unwarranted sometimes. For example, if they know NK are bad guys here because one of their spies literally witnessed the laundering (as a secretary, paper-pusher, programmer, or similar) then there is no way to disclose the source. Even a "we have an eyewitness" will tip NK off to look into the people in the process (NK will be able to definitively rule out their technology being hacked, or a bug planted somewhere).
- ashwagary 4y agoToo bad for national security that people have rights. I saw a post recently about the fact that nobody could easily identify the users of pay phones in the past and how modern day lawmakers would probably ban them out of fear of anonimity. It showed just how much privacy the average person has lost over the years...there has to be pushback.
