I have a somewhat sneaky way of effecting political change.

The NSA was actually concerned back in the time of the crypto-wars with improving American security. Nowadays, we see that their priority is weakening our security, just so they have a better chance of keeping an eye on us.

The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything.

I'm not a communist, a socialist or a radical. But these issues have to be addressed.

They still have negligent auditing, they still have things going for a walk, and they have no idea where they're coming from and they have no idea where they're going. And if that's the case, how can we as the public trust the NSA with all of our information, with all of our private records, the permanent record of our lives?

There is a policy response that needs to occur. There is also a technical response that needs to occur. It is the development community that can really craft the solutions and make sure we are safe.

We are no longer citizens, we no longer have leaders. We're subjects, and we have rulers.
