Nobody is laughing. I've started re-listening some of the podcasts by people from the CCC and from that have gathered a reasonable situation-assessment mechanism: Assume "their" (NSA, GCHQ) managers are as competent as yourself. So what would you do if you had all this info, all this infrastructure access and your prime objective is your mission, which you believe to be to observe and stop anything that brings danger or instability to the state. That's what we are dealing with. A blunder here or there does not even make a dent in the position of power that these intelligence agencies now hold.
