It's funny cause it's true! In any condition, Shia LaBeouf didn't sign any agreement with the NSA though to work there. That's why hes not being hunted for treason.

Also, people do care, just lot less people understood the severity and problems it would cause back then.

Where is the FBI consultant that told him this? I am sure he signed a contract.

The (only credited) consultant is Thomas Knowles (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3240364/).

He's got his three like any other citizen. They could hunt him if they wanted.

His three?

If Shia handed Jay Top Secret documents and refused to give his source up, you think he'd be free? I suspect anyone with the power to go after him, who noticed his comment, knew about the streisand effect, and bought 5 more years of secrecy rather than go after this "leak".

Even before that we had "Enemy of the State", which clearly showed the direction this whole thing is going, albeit in a fantasy holiwood setting.

Reminds me of another classic, much earlier..with Gene Hackman.. playing the sax mournfully, after he tore his apartment to shreds looking for a hidden bug.

There's also this: FBI agent for the second time says all communications are recorded. "No digital communication is secure" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt9kRLrmrjc

"there is a way to look at digital communication in the past ... no digital communication is secure"

Wow.

Surely they can't mean encrypted communication too, though?
