Unless we invent a time-machine, the NSA spying will get exponentially worse.

So yeah, unless we go back in time or send a few T-800's into the past to neutralize each and every Scientist responsible for modern communications tech, this issue will never go away, in fact it will get 1000 times worse. Once you open Pandora's Bo via technological breakthrough's and advances) you can't close it at your convenience. That's why I'm mortified as to why people think Edward Snowden is a hero. He's not a hero, this is an orchestrated plot to keep the public occupied on a wild goose chase to masquerade what's really going on behind closed doors in the labs of DARPA and the NSA. What's going on today is no different than what was going on during Hoovers tenure at the F.B.I it's only gotten more clandestine and modernized. So the orchestrated faux outrage by the mainstream media has nothing to do with informing the American people, 911 should of taught you that the mainstream-media is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the intelligence agencies.

If Edward Snowden was genuine, the goons at the NSA would of never let him leave the country, or given him the chance to divulge anything before placing him in a pine box. What people fail to realize is that technology doesn't progress in a linear fashion, it progresses exponentially. To quote Google's chief Engineer Raymond Kurzweil, with each ensuing decade, technological progress will advance at twice the rate it did in the previous decade(Law of Accelerating Returns). The fact of the matter is the intelligence agencies are way beyond reading your email and listening to your phone conversations. That's Fred Flinstone technology, what they're utilizing now are event simulators, and technology that can read a persons thoughts. I know that sounds crazy, but the technology is real folks.

Any piece of tech that reaches the public domain, means it's already antiqued junk when compared to what it's in possession in the top secret Government laboratories. One thing you'll never hear Mr. Snowden do is allude to any of these futuristic technologies being actively utilized. That's what he's protecting, he's sure not protecting us. Everything he's telling you is a million times worse and more invasive, his job to keep everyone thinking in the past, to protect those who're using the futuristic tools that are violating our rights today.
