The security community warned that making Lawful Access easy and automated would guarantee that bad people would penetrate the network.

And now we have China using CALEA-crippled systems to slurp up the entire USA network. Exactly as predicted.

And this - "outside of the norms of what we see in the espionage space" - LOL. ROTFL even. The NSA tapped Google's backbone! Have we forgotten Room 641A? MAINWAY? Poindexter and TIA? Palantir?

The NSA used to play defence and offence, and has gone full-offence for a generation. Did anyone really believe that only the USA could play offence?

Morons.
