We need to create devices that RESIST (warrantless,unconstitutional) mass surveillance and hide all of our data and metadata from everyone. Obama set a terrible precedent by warrantlessly scanning 'metadata' about who we contact. We're innocent by default, period.

I agree with the first post. We need to be creative and find a way to resist government surveillance, and the piece where the engineering seems impossible is allowing an occasional breach of security for extreme circumstances.

What's extreme? Well first, physical possession of the device should be required. Second, it should take resources only a nation-state would be able to afford. Want to decrypt an iPhone? It's going to cost > $5million in processing power. Any criminal would move on.
