When the NSA's entire data hoard leaks en masse (give it a decade), future historians will be mining it for centuries.
@landley Doesn't the size of it somewhat preclude such a leak, or at least storage of it?

@RichFelker Or just for it to be leaked very slowly by China or something, data constantly draining away for 5 years before they notice.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@landley I think an attacker who obtained access could selectively leak info, but transporting and storing it ALL would be quite a feat... -
@RichFelker Impossibly large data sets of 10 years ago are quite tractable today. I bought a terabyte USB Drive retail, usb3 vs 1 speed...
