So this basically removes the limitation on how long encrypted intercepted communications (simply any encrypted communication at this point) can be retained. I doubt any limits were followed in the past, but this makes it officially disturbing that one's encrypted communications could potentially be used against him any number of years down the line by any future regime, especially after technology makes cracking such encryption feasible.
- fleitz 12y agoWhen you use the word regime you already know what actions you should take. Leave now, while you still can, don't debate the wording of acts, especially when the regime starts to pass legislation increasing barriers to entry for leaving. Last year it was $400 to get out, now it's $2400, eventually when everyone smart wants to leave they'll put up a wall. Get another passport before everyone else wants one and you have to wait in line.
- cryoshon 12y agoI agree with you, but where are you getting your numbers on the "cost of leaving"? I already have a passport, but if that cost is going up at such a ridiculous rate, it's really unacceptable.
- getsat 12y agoThe stated numbers are the costs of renouncing your citizenship. The state department drastically increased the cost last year.

- acjohnson55 12y agoI think this is a horrible idea. Cut bait and leave all this country's wealth and might in the hands of a slightly more concentrated group of fascists? It's funny how people tell Mexicans "stand and fight for your country, dammit" and yet others are so ready to cut and run when the going gets a little rough at home. Get out in the streets. Start educating people. We can make this country something worth believing in.
- fleitz 12y agoUmm... isn't the US a country of immigrants? aka. the people who cut bait on their country to join a better one? The US is literally founded on the idea of cutting bait and running to another country (that's better).
