N.S.A. = Not Sticking Around

Well we have seen this coming for a while. With great minds like Gary Miliefsky over at http://www.snoopwall.com/ and Will Ackerly over at one of my favorite products https://www.virtru.com/ I see how true this article is from the Washington Post.

What we have going on right now is sort of what happened at www.nasa.gov. Many of the best and the brightest went over to SpaceX  and many of the best and brightest are still at NASA.  It is in my opinion what we will see with NSA and DHS. We will see certain companies get stronger and then.

So how does this effect journalists? NSA members can't speak to the media...CEO's of technology companies  can.

Fake cell towers and a possible work around...

So the fake cellphone towers have really gotten to me. I mean  so called secure phones really aren't as secure as one would hope. So I might have found an interesting work around to the problem. Use an Apple touch Ipod. Then get a service like Silent Circle, that allows an encrypted calling plan over voice over internet protocol. Then for added safety, get a Silent Pocket to ensure that you don't have remote start up...and then use clean wifi signals to make encrypted calls over the net. That way you avoid the base cell tower all together.  Also upgrade to the latest version of Apple.

Please note, I am not an expert on security. This is just a thought. Please use caution when implementing security protocol and go under the assumption nothing is safe.
Any thoughts?
