"Aside from being an egregious violation of the public’s right to privacy, the agency’s actions have made us all more vulnerable to foreign espionage, identity theft and other forms of cybercrime. After all, if the American government has made it easy for its agents to infiltrate a large number of computer systems, it is only a matter of time before our enemies and other unscrupulous actors find ways to exploit the same vulnerabilities. These are the same systems that protect our banking information, health records, trade secrets and other sensitive data. And it’s not just computers that are left vulnerable. Documents show that the NSA has found ways to tap into smart phones from all the major manufacturers — including iPhones, BlackBerrys and Android devices — which potentially gives the agency, and any other organization that finds ways to exploit the same vulnerabilities, access to the personal lives of millions of people around the world." fullcomment.nationalpost/2013/09/10/jesse-kline-the-nsas-undemocratic-push-toward-a-digital-surveillance-state/
