Seriously though, if you don't play ball with the NSA, they come after you, your business, and your family with the full weight of the US government. Your wealth or status means nothing against it.
Which means, as a parent, I can relate.
Yes, you and I can sit here on my keyboard and say we would have stood our ground, but when you have a children and a mortgage, suddenly things are very different. Suddenly, you think that maybe fighting this one particular fight isn't worth the damage to you and your family.
That, my HN friends, is why the whole NSA PRISM thing is so evil and why it outrages us: Even those normally beyond the law (the rich and famous) are suddenly victims like the rest of us.
