quoting my own sorry ass and all the lameness that implies,
We have known for some time that traffic analysis is more
powerful than content analysis. If I know everything about to
whom you communicate including when, where, with what inter-message
latency and at what length, then I know you. If all I have is
the undated, unaddressed text of your messages, then I am an
archaeologist, not a case officer. The soothing mendacity of
proxies for the President saying "It's only metadata" relies
on the ignorance of the listener.
