Those who enjoy Hollywood thrillers, a la the recent Manchurian Candidate, should not be disappointed. Refreshingly we find the US NSA and its American corporate partners in the role of bad guys. The saving grace for the American side is that the hero is a conscientious NSA staff in the role of master saboteur of a new Big Brother spying technology called Tumbleweeds that can listen to conversations even when cell phones are not in use (but ON of course). Clearly a potential concern of the moment. To some all this may appear far-fetched, even conspiratorial, but it is within the realm of the possible, especially considering the increasing collaboration of phone companies with the NSA. Would you rely on Nokia, Samsung and other phone manufacturers to protect your privacy?
