ORIGINAL: deathtothepixies http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24680064 America doesn't have too many friends around the world, this isn't going to help is it? Everybody with the means spies on everybody. And that definitely includes Germany. If their PM was making calls over a non secure phone then she really is dumb. No disrespect Ken, but what would be dumb would be to suspect that there are 100% secure phones in this day and age. Pixie makes a good point though, the loss of goodwill eventually reaches a tipping point which outweighs any US benefits from these types of phone taps. And our SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that there can be no expectation of privacy in electronic communications, so it is the law of our land, embedded now in our constitution (it was a nutsacker SCOTUS that ruled that, btw) as it were.
