While you do make some valid points you should also notice the difference between the 2 systems.
With a telephone tap you can select a single line and track all calls through that one. If I don't call that specific line, I won't get monitored.
An e-mail tap works differently. It scans ALL e-mails on some keywords. If you just happen to have a few of those keywords in your e-mail it gets picked out and read by some guy/girl who really has got nothing to do with it.
How about company sensitive info which gets read because the project just happens to be called 'Project Strike One' and is send to the department in North Ireland.
This may look a bit far streched but I don't want anybody looking through my mail whenever I have a few words in it they think are suspicious. I will have to re-evaluate every word I type hoping it will not be detected by an (any)ivore system.
Having to watch every move because of all the systems which are supposed to give you a safe feeling is exactly what a certain Orson Wells described in his famous book '1984' (yes, there it finally pops up:)
An 18 year old boy doing it with a 17 year old girl is technically a paedophile. So I am/was one, are you?
I think we should rephrase the meaning of the word paedophile to something like: Doing it with children before they enter their puberty. Ofcourse not to be confused with rape.

How would a God do that? If it's an inner voice then the scientist can easely discard it as being self-induced one way or another. If it's via an apparition then you can get concrete data and prove that a god exists. How does a god tell somebody something. Answer that and you immediately have your answer for your question.

He doesn't say he has the masterkey, just the method to attain it.
Wasn't that cracked by some british mathematician a few years back?
"Here is my theory of the universe. First there was nothing. Only a very small ball of matter which could fit in a thimble. And.."
"Was there a thimble?"
"What?"
"Was there a thimble?"
"Well, no of course"
"There you go. That theory was easily debuncked"

Can't we reinstate the morse code here?
Beam on (1 time units). Beam off (1 time units). Beam on (2 time units). etc.
This seems to defeat the problem of storing info in the beam.
Just my 2 cents.
