I talk to people in the ACLU office in New York all the time. I'm able to participate in the debate and to campaign for reform. I'm just the first to come forward in the manner that I did and succeed.

Because, remember, I didn't want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.

I don't think there's anything, any threat out there today that anyone can point to, that justifies placing an entire population under mass surveillance.

When we think in the context of the last decade's infringements upon personal liberty and the last year's revelations, it's not about surveillance. It's about liberty.

We have the means and we have the technology to end mass surveillance without any legislative action at all, without any policy changes.

The only way I could be extradited is through the principle of what my lawyers call "politics trumps law."

You can show a guy sort of peeking over the wall, you can see a guy tunneling underneath, you can see a guy going through the front door. All of those, in cyber terms, are vulnerabilities, because it's not that you have to look for one hole of a specific type. It's the whole paradigm.
