I can't read that from Robert's mails. IIRC, the main point here was that traffic analysis is a much more powerful tool than wholesale content analysis. I am not able to decide this but from all what I know the former has a incredible better cost-benefit ratio. Rumors are the NSA employs some mathematicians so that they might be able to do their arithmetic. This does not mean I neglect that mail and other content is regularly scanned to find possible targets and what do I know. Actually we now that Google does this as well as Microsoft for Skype chats. Given that keeping content secret is way easier than mitigating traffic analysis, we need to be excellent in this craft before we are able to widely deploy traffic analysis countermeasures. Shalom-Salam, Werner p.s. Remember ENRON? You may use all their internal mails to play which traffic analysis tools <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_Corpus>. IIRC, there was even a website to view the connection graphs (enronscope?). -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
