I had a coworker who was a system architecture genius. He built supercomputer clusters for Fermi Lab and was deeply involved in Amazon's first major expansion. This was in addition to a 17 year career at ATT/Lucent(US phone company and their tech division).
Onetime a group of us were talking and the subject of the NSA came up. He was totally silent on the conversation except for going deadly serious for one single statement. "You cannot fathom what the NSA is capable of." Given his skill set and past, I knew he KNEW what he was talking about but could not say more. I have never worried about US capabilities since then.
