Yeah, I'm kind of under the impression that the US has many text messages stored by the NSA in one of those hub thingies.  Text messages are just too juicy.. easily stored, relatively easy to ID, and still quite potentially dangerous.

I'd also guess text messages carry less noise and irrelevant data.  Seems like a perfect thing to tap to start getting at terrorism.

PS-  I mean when compared to things like the Internet and phones, not that the average text message should be tapped.

OMG, I'm "in possession of information likely to be of use to a terrorist" under the Terrorism Act 2000, and I just "distributed information likely to be of use to a terrorist" too.

ah well, fuck it. Death to the infidel....etc

Status: offline 		Yeah, it is kinda silly.  I mean any terrorist that knows decent program and has a couple of brain cells to rub together could make a godly impossible encryption program to communicate with.  Yet we tap wires anyhow.

I do hope they're smart about it.  The government, this is.
