| what is the point?
If people want to talk and keep it a secret they will just use a p2p chatting program whether it be voice or text that will be encrypted. The days of the wiretap are over. All they get to here is the message, "Hey jump online and we'll talk" Then the FBI gets to speculate about what they were talking about. |

| there was a recent story about how intelligence services rounded up a bunch of terrorist operatives who were using anonymous SIM cards for GSM phones (the kind you can buy and use until they run out without ID), and the operatives were communicating by just calling numbers, and hanging up. Once they got suspicious of one, they just connected others by plotting who they contacted.
even if you're encrypting everything, if you're closely observed, then it is guilt by association. |

This was al-Qaeda. Good thing they slipped up by buying the same card from the same company in Switzerland. Otherwise they would have been tracer-proof, according to the article.
