Be Very Afraid, Warn Brian Doherty, Scott Shackford, and Ron Bailey

Brian Doherty, Scott Shackford, and Ron Bailey detail what we knew before the NSA scandal broke, why even folks with "nothing to hide" should be concerned about privacy protections, and what ordinary civilians can do to protect the secrecy of their day-to-day business.
