You people completely ignore the mode of operation and start making idiotic claims about "well NSA!"
In this case, as the website makes clear, you have to say the word "Alexa" for it to start listening. If you had been paying attention to the mobile scene even a little bit you'd know that this is on-chip listening for the term, rather than in the cloud.
