- downandout 13y agoIf, through whatever means, they become interested enough in your data, they can just go judge shopping until they find one that decides that NSA suspicion is enough to issue a search warrant.
- rosser 13y agoTrue enough, but that scales very poorly, while their current approach demonstrably scales rather well. In a game of picking one's battles, that seems like an easy win; I'll worry about contempt charges and rubber hoses some other day.
