#1 Hey, Boris! They'll track you down no matter what you do to hide now. Posting from the library won't help you now. The NSA is good. Real good.

And remember, what they haven't declassified yet prolly works even better.

#2 Easily defeated if you know the right way to go about it. If needed, I have a proxy that drops all packets from them and other ad companies anyway, and adds a random 100-400ms delay in the packets at the front plane of the router. Thats in addition to any filtering I choose to do at the client end on my own land, relays, etc.

For here I dont bother. But if it became important, no problem putting that stuff in.

#4 Why exactly would the NSA tip their hand on having this capability by seeking a patent? Are they a business or a spy agency? Perhaps they figure the bad guys already know and take counter-measures so they might as well see a resident engineer taken care of financially? If so, they overestimate the skills of many a jihadi. Or perhaps are they just looking to make the jihadi's more paranoid and slow their ops?
