[2 Points] lordredvampire:
NSA cannot crack encrypted messages that use modern cryptography. Old cryptography can be hacked because of existing vulnerabilities.
1) AES 256/Blowfish/Serpent cannot be broken with a good passphrase, period.
2) RSA key using >= 2048 bit cannot be broken either, again, using a good passphrase.
So to speak, it's a waste of tax payer's money. I ain't worried.
