That's true--the Prism program really could have the positive effect of making recruiting harder. That's definitely the most sensible argument I've heard for it

It's interesting that the program being useful in that way doesn't require the program to be secret...
- mpyne 13y agoWell, secrecy had its uses too. People might have assumed about Facebook and Google being susceptible to FISA warrants (not to mention PRISM), but I'd never even heard of PalTalk until this. Either way though the cat is out of the bag so there can be no further national security interest from a lack of transparency around that program.
