>This is great, but misses one important fact. Knowing the level of corruption in the Brazilian government, this assumes no one who works on the optics can be bribed by the NSA. I suspect that is improbable.
It likely doesn't matter in any case. Read up on the USS Jimmy Carter. It's likely that this submarine has the ability to directly tap into undersea cables.
