Appreciate Mike speaking up like this. We need more people within the industry to speak up. Not just hackers.

(People within these companies are also hackers, but they have more effect when they speak because they are part of a company)

I agree, but I do wonder what is going to happen when people start speaking up to say something quite the opposite. "I don't speak for my employer, but I think the NSA is quite awesome and I don't mind that they've been listening to us at all." Or something to that effect.

The clash might be interesting to watch.

With the increasingly alarming NSA plans being revealed, if someone thinks NSA is doing a good job, they deserve to be fired. His thoughts and opinion doesn't give him the rights to have public data available to governments. This, ofcourse, assumes that he is into Security Team at some well known company.

Anybody who praises the NSA should be blacklisted from existence in this solar system.
