I can&#x27;t help but feeling reactionary when something upsetting happens. It is true that early reports suggest that encryption was being used and obviously low-tech communications like meeting in cafes. But despite the rather extensive surveillance state that exists, it still did not prevent such a massive, coordinated attack.<p>So yes, I am still skeptical of NSA style surveillance, however I am now more likely to keep my opinion to myself as the issue is now so caught up in emotion.
