QUOTE A DAY - March 20, 2012

Greetings fellow quote lovers:

I became aware of the DOJ asking the courts to keep secret the relationship between Google and the National Security Agency. This means your every keystroke that Google captures is MOST LIKELY in the government's hands. Here is a short article I wrote about this:

DOJ Asks Court To Keep GOOGLE-NSA Partnership Secret

This gave rise to the theme on secrecy today.

Best,
JA
