Nope, you're not an outlier. If someone steals your device, be it random theft or FBI/NSA storm your home, at least you know exactly what was taken and when and you probably know why(fair or otherwise). Much better for your state of mind to know for sure whether or not your data has been taken rather than what we have now - a constant state of paranoia because none of us really know what the NSA is up to. For the most part, I just assume any internet-capable device is compromised. One thing I still suspect is outside of NSA's wide-sweeping data collecting is proper usage of Steganography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography >>For example, a sender might start with an innocuous image file and adjust the color of every 100th pixel to correspond to a letter in the alphabet, a change so subtle that someone not specifically looking for it is unlikely to notice it. I cannot comprehend that the NSA is scanning every image on the internet looking for patterns like that. If I were planning on some anti-establishment action, that's what I'd do. It would also be pretty cool for someone to make a tool that does this automatically. For regular people who just want plain privacy, keep on whistleblowing, keep on naming and shaming, keep on making the NSA's strategies not work by posting more and more tools & techniques to render their surveillance useless.... until we reach some kind of critical point that even the average-joe can't ignore.
