I'm reading this bruhaha as the Americans wanting to collect data
from within the US about everybody not a US citizen who communicates
with persons or entities inside the US, or whose traffic routes thru US.
So if I in New Zealand buy a widget from Amazon, in the extreme they
could want my entire Home dir which at present is 48GB excluding Music
and Videos.
Apple are said to Pwn 575 million credit cards. Add in the other big
players, then subtract 200M for Americans, and you've still got a
big number.

The good professor hasn't got much to show other than conjecture - which is all
he's likely to have given those in the know are not saying.
His point about spies outsourcing illegal spying on citizens and residents to
other nations' services is well taken. But under legislation proposed in NZ,
they won't rely on that for much longer. In the wake of the Dotcom spying
desaster, they will make it legal for the GCSB to spy on residents and citizens
in their own country.
I'd say Hank Wolfe got a bit ahead of the reality.
Sad really - there's plenty of lessons that could have been learned from
ubiquitous surveillance in the East Bloc nations and the effect on society.
Doesn't seem to faze our government.
