> "if your data never crosses a US border (E.g. a Norwegian person using jottacloud), then the NSA cable taps have no effect" Perhaps, as pertains to the taps we were warned about by Mark Klein, Snowden, et al.

(And the notion that they'd tap a half dozen foreign leaders before they tapped a trunk line or five is pretty laughable.)
