Thats all l was trying to say. But then l dont live in the US, but like many other nations who knows what the NSA is up to. I think we need a bit more humour in our lives. :) This does not mean l support them. But, why not make some humour out of the NSA as the butt of all jokes ? :) for all the things US nationals despise ?

NSA Makes all Email Use Privilege Waiving? Posted: 04 Nov 2013 03:00 AM PST Puzzle me this: If a lawyer conversed with a client in front of a law enforcement representative, would the conversation be privileged? Answer: No. Conversations held in the presence of any third party, let alone one representing the government, would constitute a waiver of privilege. Previously on 3Geeks (and perhaps too many times) we have tackled the subject of the use of free email services and how that waives privilege. But now the NSA has upped the ante on the topic, basically spreading it to all email. Unless you live under a rock with no wifi, you will be aware that the NSA is tracking global email communications and storing them in Utah (a nice place to visit). So, as a lawyer should you now expect that a government agency is obtaining copies of all of your confidential client communications? If so, you might want to .... Oh never mind. If we actually took this rule seriously, all lawyers would be encrypting their email communications. And we know they are not and no one is asking them to do so. I withdraw the statement.
