NSA has broken most encryption

No, really! I'm not just making shit up this time:

The agency has circumvented or cracked much of the encryption, or digital scrambling, that guards global commerce and banking systems, protects sensitive data like trade secrets and medical records, and automatically secures the e-mails, Web searches, Internet chats and phone calls of Americans and others around the world, the documents show.
I hope you don't have your plots to *redacted* the *redacted* with a *redacted* and your CP stored on Google Drive, no matter how much encryption you applied[i]![/i]

In related news, the NSA stores all encrypted data, "just in case". https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130620/15390323549/nsa-has-convinced-fisa-court-that-if-your-data-is-encrypted-you-might-be-terrorist-so-itll-hang-onto-your-data.shtml
In other words, if your messages are encrypted, the NSA is keeping them until they can decrypt them. And, furthermore, as we noted earlier, the basic default is that if the NSA isn't sure about anything, it can keep your data.

It doesn't have to be overt. It could be a hack that makes it 5000 times faster and use 99% less power, but causes an obscure bug when a second bug in a completely different part of the code is active. There is only a one in a quadrillion chance that something would trigger it on accident would cause it, but it suddenly becomes active when a specially crafted sequence is fed to it.

Then the feds see your Cyberfunk Manifesto and you get killed in a fly-by shooting.
