Re: Proof That the NSA Puts Trapdoors in Windows

Er, this article is not about *industrial* espionage, which is more
specifically about stealing company secrets.

The article is about the NSA having the electronic equivalent of
wire-tap spying capability on anyone running one of Microsoft's
Operating Systems (something AT&T have already admitted to
doing). With an NSA backdoor, that "wire tapping" is also full system
access.

Until the great dictator, Bush Jnr., took power, wire-tapping required
a warrant (still does in the UK). Now, thanks to the state of marshal
law in the US, (implemented using terrorism as an excuse), any monkey
in a suit can legally spy on you.
