of many expressions of (justified) concern at the implications of the NSA
revelations, particularly when everyone was so paranoid about how a mere mention
of unsolicited bulk email in the ITRs would have (allegedly) cleared the way for
systematic surveillance. Well, it turns out systematic surveillance was already
