This is way over my pay grade, so I'll refrain from commenting. However, I'm posting the link because I hope that people who know more about this stuff will offer some nuggets with which I can try to further edjumacate myself.

I understand that terrorists tend to be pretty stupid,  but I'm not sure even they are dumb enough to think  Facebook's encryption is that secure. My understanding is that Third party e-mail/message encryption is essentially unbreakable in any useful timespan.

Device encryption I'm fuzzier on. Obviously Apple's wasn't as good as they thought, but both they and Android supposedly upgraded it.  If I had stuff I cared about, I'm not sure I'd trust the big guys.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The invasion will happen on June 6th at Normandy.

Patton's Army is a fake.
