Exactly. And you're only talking about the small percentage of the geeks. The non-geeks in our society have absolutely NO clue at all that such technology exists, how it works and how effectively it destroys privacy. Basically, they

Just like the Brits could have used the cracked Enigma code to stop each and every German operation during the War, they refrained from doing so and used it only for very specific situations (in order to avoid their cover being blown). Expe
