> Then, anything else that they guess with 51% confidence is foreign, until they discover otherwise, is also authorized: Slipper slope as usual. Up to the point that it seems the most work was done in terms how to write this law so broadly that we can do anything we want to, and still comply with it. So in other words, knowing how Government works, its like this: - we need intel on this guy - okay let me check if he is a us citizen.. - okay 67% chances he is according to the system. we can't mine him... - wait a second... but if you tweak this option and uncheck this box, will his USC probability fall down? - yes sir, down to 47%. - there you go, my man. so its not a citizen.. most likely. - yes sir. - fine! give me everything we got on him. - roger that. > (A US citizen might want to answer all calls not with "hello" but instead "I am a US person", if you want them to stop listening I am sorry but you have to STOP thinking that they answer to someone, or that you have some sort of legal right to sue them. Okay, so it turned out you said you are a US citizen and they continued to listen to it. And what you gonna do about it? Are you gonna sue them? Have judge sign off subpoena for them to turn over their files? Give me a break! They are ABOVE the law! They can cover everything with "government privilege" rubber stamp and wrap a file with "top secret" ribbon. Not even judge can peek into it. You lost the case (month of your time and most of your lifetime savings) before it even started! EDIT: bottom line, those are hard-core criminals that do not answer to anyone. You have an obligation, regardless of which country citizen you are, to protect yourself. use PGP, start encouraging your friends to get Bat email client with PGP widget, etc.
