What? government snooping on private communications? What? we can’t trust the government?
What a surprise.

The government can eat me...unless they’re vegetarian.

Never put out on the Internet anything that you wouldn't want over-heard on your average busy street corner...
This has been true for as long as there has been an Internet.

We used to have a homeless guy who roamed the streets of Downtown Pittsburgh all day wearing a sandwich board claiming that the government was intercepting his mail.
The other side said that they were controlling his mind through “secret radio”.
Little did we know...

This is why I have taught my grandsons not to write anything in email, on the internet, or anything computer related unless they wouldn’t mind having it published for the world to see.

Your emails are not nearly as private as you think. Actually they're just as private as I think. That's why any document that I don't want to be part of the public record I encrypt with GPG and send as an attachment. Let the feds have fun trying to break that. Sometimes my friends and I just encrypt web pages and send to each other just to throw off traffic analysis too.

People have no idea how much electronic surveillance by the government is occurring every single day. There really is no good reason for people to NOT use encryption, (PGP, GPG, or something similar), other than the fact that people are lazy. There are plugins available for just about every major email client, and it can all be managed pretty much transparently. All websites could use SSL. In fact, if we took our privacy seriously, 95% of internet traffic could probably be encrypted, and all the various governments of the world would be SOL.
Another benefit of using public-key encryption for communications would be the dramatic decrease of spam.

Don't kid yourself that Big Brother isn't snooping everywhere it wants with or without a piece of paper. Dale was right all along.
