Quotation of the Day for August 18, 2013



"It's time we called the government's actions what it really is: commandeering. Commandeering is a practice we're used to in wartime, where commercial ships are taken for military use, or production lines are converted to military production. But now it's happening in peacetime. Vast swaths of the Internet are being commandeered to support this surveillance state."

- Bruce Schneier, security expert, on the Internet surveillance of the U.S. NSA.
