The NSA's horse has already left the barn. The U.S. Government's first priority should be to do this at our nuclear weapons labs, before our bomb design codes (in Fortran, no doubt) wind up on BitTorrent. I would thought they'd have learned their lesson after Private Manning. How many times does the bell have to ring?
(And if anyone from NSA is reading these pearls of wisdom, a Happier New Year and pass this on to your boss.)
