And to add - I see the former (LIAR!) head of the NSA pouting that the NSA is basically incapable of doing what it used to because of Snowdon.
GOOD! They should have got the consent of the people before spying on them, and they wouldn't have had their testes put in a jar.
I imagine the liar from the NSA is lying again and not telling us how they're already hard at work breaking into things again.
One thing that has come of this is that my own agency has now implemented a network for health care data that it completely disconnected from the internet. It's the only way to make sure that there's no chance of a breach of data. Given that the NSA's backdoors are public then it's just a matter of time before non-governmental criminals discover these backdoors and start exploiting them so the best thing anyone can do is to just cut off the net.
That's how the video monitoring facility I've been building has been designed. Every camera in a building will be recorded 24/7, but there will be absolutely no internet access in that room. And no removable media either. No CD/DVD drives, and most servers will have the USB ports disabled or filled with epoxy.
