 Hi, Roy Witt!

 ak>> This information is just a scandalous information which tells the

 RW> NSA-------------------------

   Anyway, Snowden did his best. If we think it over, the logic is
simple. The state must NOT have full control of its citizens. The state
must not have power to suppress all clandestine activity. The state must
not develop such technical instruments that make clandestine activity
impossible. Because it is a matter of democracy survival.

   Suppose, the state controls its people to such an extent, that it
knows all people connections. This means that a member of clandestine
organization cannot hide anywhere among his friends, acquaintances and
even people with whom he once had a phone talk. Why it is bad? Because
clandestine activity is a holy cow of democracy. If some bustards came
to power and they have all levers to suppress any clandestine activity
they will be able to do it. And resistance will fail. That why the state
must not be too powerful, too omnipresent. That's why NSA activity to
trace all phone calls must be stopped, and its equipment and spy bases
destroyed. It will, maybe, create some difficulties in catching real
criminals. But it worth it. It provide freedom and democracy more
chances for survival.

Bye, Roy!
