No. Ever seen The Wire? So the whole goal is to get a wiretap on a phone so that you can listen in on what's being said. If the bad guys know you're listening, they ditch the phone. They go for a burner. They change up their methods. And you no longer have anything to listen to. Were the NSA to chase everybody off methods they can tap, the NSA would have nothing to listen to. The goal is not to silence discussion, the goal is to eavesdrop. If everyone shuts up they have failed, not succeeded.Separate thought from my other comment ... isn't the NSA/thought police/whatever winning if their actions cause us to gradually lose things like Groklaw and Lavabit and presumably more to come?
