DEA complains that Apple CHAT "impossible to intercept."

13. I'm making no such assumptions.

My son actually writes these encryption keys for a developer I'll leave nameless. I'm not "expecting" anything, not where the NSA is concerned. In fact, all I "expect" is that they can capture anything I post or read. There is some element of Darwinism to this story...if meth dealers and crack heads are using their cell phones to set up deals, perhaps they shouldn't be surprised when they get busted.

My son's most recent encryption scheme is pretty brilliant, though. But no way I can use it on my phone. If the NSA wants to read the grocery list transcripts sent from my wife, or the occasional naughty messages when we're apart, go for it. I'm happy to know that at least my iPhone appears to make it a little more difficult for them.
