They have children, though, and some of those children are probably smart, and might train their old men to use Tarsnap via Tor in order to transmit encrypted messages/photos/other data anonymously and securely.
I'd imagine the NSA is concerned about future intelligent adversaries who have finesse, which is why they stay as far as possible ahead of the curve.
(I'm trying to come up with an alternative to our standard explanation of "the NSA does this because it's a soulless governmental machine that wants access to the world's information for corrupt purposes.")
- jmadsen 13y agoLOL - actually, OT but lot of recent articles are showing that "young people know all about computers" is a complete falsehood.
- sillysaurus2 13y agoThe point was more along the lines of "intelligent people are generated by being born, so it's a matter of time before we face an intelligent adversary" rather than "young people are intelligent."
- sliverstorm 13y agoI'd imagine the NSA is concerned about future intelligent adversaries who have finesse I'd imagine the NSA already has such adversaries. Note how difficult it appears to be to track down members Al-Qaeda, and how relatively well-informed bin Laden's hiding scheme was. There are doubtless also other less-publicized malicious operations of the same breed.
