> Digital communications are so insecure that the attackers always win. Always. And digital communications play a huge role (next to satellite and radio communications) in modern espionage and sabotage. If you just play a defensive game, you lose. The US feels it needs these capabilities for these reasons - not because of terrorism.
The role of NSA programs like BULLRUN in making digital communications insecure by default complicates the analysis.
