      Yup, but in a British newspaper.

      The Brits have pretty adverse interests on this matter. I think that American communications security is a debate that doesn’t need to involve the British, can be done perfectly fine among ourselves.

      EDIT: I’d also add that Reich isn’t the guy to raise the matter either; it’s not his area of expertise. If, say, the NSA or friends raise it as an issue – we pay a large number of full-time domain experts to secure our communications – then I think that’d be an interesting topic.
