Re: Marketing Hack Its smart to put the NSA's surveillance in a context that people understand

@Matt Bryant

I'm quite confident that the NSA/Five Eyes don't have the eyeballs needed to check out everyone's boudoir photography. However, my argument is that the NSA shouldn't be staring at ANY adult communications that don't represent a genuine threat to national securityand shouldn't even have the ability to do that.

However, it seems that there is at least a subculture in the SigInt agencies that views checking out hot pics or exs or potential new romantic partners a perk of employment.

And then there is the very broad definition of intelligence targets that has the Five Eyes looking at people who express an interest in encryption, readers of innocuous publications like Linux Journal, members of various civil liberties organizations and legal MBPs, attorney/client communications and so on.
