I have a feeling some of the same folks that are saying there is no worries regarding the US government would spy on them are some of the same ones that would have an aneurysm if a cop stopped them and asked to see their LTC.

I am duly impressed with all of the technoligical knowledge and expertise that has been flaunted in this thread. I still have one question, with all of this awesome knowledge about incredible encryption technology and data protection, how in the world are all of these various breaches happening?

Then again, if you have nothing to worry about, why worry about about the government monitoring or ID'ing you?

Not sure how reliable the Gateway Pundit is. However, if this is true, it sure blows holes in the theory that laws requiring warrants will keep the government from using the tools to hack and spy on US citizens.

Not to mention the possible wiretapping of Trump's communications.

Are the two guys Hannity interviewed crazy or lying?

Even the IRS has been breached. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-identit ... ranscript/

Amazon's Echo has been used to snoop.

If it was all as secure and locked down as some would like us to believe this stuff would not be happening.

The issue isn't so much that it is a "surprise". It's that we are now seeing confirmation of what is we suspected and thought we knew.

Glad you have such confidence that surveillance doesn't happen without the proper warrants. Keep in mind, not all regular citizens have the resources and expertise that some of your clients have.

With regard to your comment about leaving TV's and phones on unattended, how is one to know that their phone or TV isn't in the "game off" mode and are actually turned off? So you unplug your TV or remove your phones battery every time you aren't using it?

Again, Do you believe the CIA and other government servers are encrypted?

I'm sure glad you some of you fellas have all the answers and know encryption is keeping us all safe and protected from prying eyes and ears.

Let me ask some questions so I can better understand. Are CIA's servers encrypted? Does your encryption prevent your computer cameras and microphones from being accessed and controlled remotely? Are your emails and all data you transmit 100% secure? Has the government ever turned their techniques designed to spy on foreign bad guys ever been turned on American Citizens? Are you invisible to the NSA? Are your operating systems 100% secure and impervious?

I think blindly assuming encryption is the answer is irresponsible. Data that is supposedly encrypted somehow gets compromised often. Breaking the encryption code is not the only way to compromise data and privacy.

It appears virtually no one is immune from Big Brother's spying. Even Linux and VPN's do not protect you from BB.

That smart TV that is connected to the internet, just may be the bug you didn't know you have.
