    Amazon acquires secure messaging app Wickr used by Pentagon

    I wouldn't put it past the U.S. government to put a clause into the sale
    that Amazon turns over all communications to them as they occur. It seems
    no matter where you turn, they're spying on their own citizens constantly.
    You won't be able to pee in private pretty soon!

    ... Can you say TAX AND SPEND?

    It's a sad commentary when the bathroom is the litmus test or
    last refuge for privacy. :(

    I know, it'll be a real pisser then won't it <G> It is sad however to think that we may not even be safe in there.

    When you work in places where your co-workers take their phones into the
    toilet and use them, I suspect we are already compromised more than we'd
    like! :)
