    I have t read the article yet but followed to Snowden story closely. On the surface, i think the purchase part is different.

    In the last interview I saw with him, he mentioned end to end encryption makes a bit of a difference, wonder if this is affected by that?

      Could be some loophole where reading something unencrypted can be compared to open radio transmissions, while cracking encryption to opening paper mail.

      (Just imagining.)
