Wei Dei: monitoring

[Richard K. Moore]

>How would you get access to the trunks?

Not that difficult for an intelligence agency.

>Aren't they mostly optic fibers now?

Can be tapped.

>Also, since Internet traffic is growing at a geometric
rate, the probability of anyone or any organization having the
capacity to monitor and process ALL of Internet traffic should be
very small and decreasing.

That's what super-computers are for (besides chaos modelling).
