I agree with Peter and Arnold; in fact, I am convinced that
as of this date, there are only two areas where national
agencies have a lead over the private/international sector,
namely one-time-pad deployment and traffic analysis.  Of those,
I would place a bet that only traffic analysis will remain an
area of sustainable lead, that traffic analysis is the only
area where commercial interests will not naturally marshall
the resources to threaten the lead of the national agencies.
