I came here to mention that the NSA/Navy could already tap undersea fiber ... and to implore everyone to encrypt their traffic.

Is it even possible to transmit all of the tapped data? It's possible to transmit part of it with a buoy and a satellite connection or using UHF transmitters but if the data is encrypted it seems like it would be impossible to determine the important data or transmit all of it.

  They could just junction it and run their own cable back to the US. Probably too expensive, but hey why not.

    TFA says the project will cost $185 million. That's not what the US military would consider expensive. It's probably cheaper to sell compromised routers to network operators.

    The NSA doesn't understand what this "too expensive" thing is you're talking about.
