    A backdoor is a mechanism to provide secret access to otherwise confidential communications. It has nothing to do with warrants.

        . @Snowden does it count as a backdoor if the sysadmin leaves things woefully unpatched?

        @Snowden It has everything to do with ESCAPE. I still don't see the BLIMP fitting in the backdoor. I'm telling you, it's headed to Macy's.

        @Snowden That's one big backdoor to fit that BLIMP in-- I'm sorry, I'm still being violently tortured with military war weaponry...
