Bruce Schneier and Matt Blaze on TAO’s Methods
An important point:
As scarily impressive as [NSA’s TAO] implant catalog is, it’s targeted. We can argue about how it should be targeted — who counts as a “bad guy” and who doesn’t — but it’s much better than the NSA’s collecting cell phone location data on everyone on the planet. The more we can deny the NSA the ability to do broad wholesale surveillance on everyone, and force them to do targeted surveillance in individuals and organizations, the safer we all are.
