I don&#x27;t have much to say about it, other than the specific belief that I don&#x27;t think this comment will ever be directly connected to me by the NSA or anyone else, almost regardless of its content.<p>A lot of the concern over the loss of privacy from a 1st Amendment standpoint revolve around the idea that the US government will eventually start to silence dissenters.  I don&#x27;t worry about this, because I can write this comment, and as long as I don&#x27;t literally make a direct or actionable threat against someone, no one on the planet but me will know who wrote it.  Even after everything I&#x27;ve read about what the NSA is doing, I still don&#x27;t think they have the capability of identifying someone in a position like mine without a warrant.<p>The idea that <i>this</i> comment is safe makes me think the US government isn&#x27;t yet at a point where the article writer seems to think it is.
