Was just thinking to myself that Snowden:<p>1. Only gave away enough information to make people respect how much power the NSA and U.S. govt has.<p>2. By giving away that information it gave the NSA/U.S. govt reason to put money towards ensuring secrecy of its information, which may have been in danger after cutbacks.<p>Reasonable?
not really....<p>With the new information available to the general public IF and i mean IF they really wanted to do something nasty it would now be easy to provide mis-information in a way that has a good chance of being picked up and using it as a distraction to actually do something.<p>While they have access to a lot of communication sneaker-net is still a lot more likely to be untraced and therefore a lot harder to snoop on.
