... determined to make his actions count for as much as possible.
If you look at the 2014 election results, you will notice that his 'actions' counted for exactly nothing. And they will be just as valuable in the 2016 elections and beyond.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, he is still an asset. His real value will be in what he brings back from Russia. That, of course, will not be leaked.
Oh! big bad NSA! What fucking 'reaction' have we seen so far? I can tell you. Nothing! That's the all reaction you will ever see out of this. Let's stop with the charade,okay? Reelection rates will continue to remain steady for the foreseeable future. Snowden is coming back with a report. He will be debriefed and forgotten (by the press) in less than a month.
I don't count non voters. Neither does the system. The people who don't like things the way they have to show it. Otherwise I too, will assume they are happy with the status quo. The citizens are responsible for the government they have. And they deserve the government they have.
So, you're saying that the voters are against the people? That's a rather odd statement. I mean, considering how they constantly reelect the politicians to their post, how can that be? Do the voters hate themselves so much as to desire this kind of punishment? What's the deal?
Well what do you expect when it doesn't even arouse the feeblest of resistance? In fact it is rewarded. The lone simple fact is that people are okay with it.
You have no idea what you are talking about. The NSA is functioning completely within its normal parameters. The people have determined that the only rogue was Snowden.
There's only one party that's corrupt? Or are you talking about the republi-crat party?
Yes, there is only one (forked tongue) party that gets 98% of the votes every election.
Voters should at least pay attention to who they are voting for. Basic background history of these people is all over the internet. If working the system is off the table, then the simplest thing to do is for everybody to vote for any other name not associated with the dem/reps. There is no need to tell everybody everyday until the election, they just need to do it, without any discussion. Non-voters are a majority block by a wide margin. If they all came out and voted against the dem/reps, the problem is solved. But regardless any of that, it is not anybody's fault but the voters. They simply must learn to tune out the liars who make big promises.
With distributed power the only thing you should need to pay for is the hook up and infrastructure costs, which should remain stable as more people hook up.
The only problem is that the next guy is just as corrupt, if not more so.
No, the problem is that he and the corrupt party are constantly rewarded with reelection. The voters have to work the system and be as active as the lobbyists, not just show up every two years. Why I am being modded down for stating this, I do not understand, aside from an ulterior motive on the moderator's part.

Reaction? You're kidding, right?

It'll cost ya a million bucks. Cough it up.
He's coming back to report, and be debriefed! You don't really think he 'did' anything, do you?
Don't blame the bureaucracy for the voters' problems. If it is not responsive, it is only because there is insufficient demand. Sorry...

Unfortunately, the [elected] clowns who make up government are keen to give them even more powers with even less oversight
I think we all know what the real solution is.
How the TSA will feel about it remains to be seen.
If they work, they'll be banned, if not, they will sell them at the TSA's airport duty free souvenir shop.
Let's try the same gag in the Sahara..
Remote code execution via SMS - ye gods.
By itself, it's bad enough, but how it got past 'the crowd' is the issue to study.

...well, I'm over 50 and have no hope left for us, as a species.
BAH! You kids know nothing. We're at the top of our game, and getting better! Get the fuck off my lawn!

I kind of addressed that here.
Look what it's done to us!
You don't need 'legitimacy'. You gotta have faith!
Come out! And accept your punishment, with shall be death by burning at the stake! You're a witch!
Fuck all this! Make the damn politicians who write the damn laws reveal their sponsors! Then maybe they can complain about other people
In the 50s it was container shipping that caused all the fuss that made the papers.
Everything but the mail room, huh?
You cannot justify a stupid policy just by pointing out that we already do something else that is even stupider.
Sometimes your prescription needs an antidote of sorts to counter the side effects.
