More like, you were reading your diary aloud with a megaphone, and then got upset because your neighbor overheard a bit.

  Not really. More like you are writing your diary in your room and someone with binoculaurs hiding in the tree outside your window reads what you've written.

    No it isn't. Your analogy implies targeting, but that's not at all what happens in this situation. Simply recording all data flowing through an area is like walking down a street with a tape recorder and recording someone yelling their password out of their window.

      Your analogy implies the user being aware of what they're broadcasting (in the act of shouting).

        And hence, all analogies have limits :-)

          Analogies to infinity don't.

            Nice math joke.
