What kind of data do they have access to, now that most internet traffic is encrypted?
The thin blue line runs around the world. NSA is party to multinational intelligence sharing agreements. If they don’t delete the data to prevent discovery and disclosure in public trials, they are in violation of the contract. Any legal scholars have a rejoinder to this? How would you have approached this case to prevent outmaneuvering in these legalistic ways? It is a mockery of the rule of law that it is upheld an…
My guess...some kind of reader hidden in the door that triggers a mechanical device that lifts the panic bar (another comment's comment) or otherwise disengages some such other locking mechanism.

And the encryption is getting better. For forever DNS queries were plaintexted on the wire, but now with most browsers adding a DoH feature, those days of passively sniffing DNS lookups on the wire are over. You might be shifting your queries to a centralized provider, but it's miles better than letting the NSA lift logs from an ISP.
(2006) needs to be added to the title, unless there’s substantial new information
Why would a Wikipedia article require a date? Someone else just posted a Wikipedia article about an ancient Aztec city but I think it would be kind of ridiculous for the title to include (1325).
That door has no handle, no sign of a swipe card reader. Any ideas how the people who can would get that door open?

Is it a known fact that AT&T is in bed with the NSA, or just a coincidence? Titanpointe and Room 641A are currently or formerly owned by AT&T.
It's complicated.
Telcos that operate in the US are required to follow US laws and court orders and there are laws and orders that require them to submit data to the gov.
But they also don't seem to be trying to fight it: https://www.wired.com/2013/09/telcos-metada-orders/
I'd imagine if they fought it, a new law would magically appear in the books so it's hard to tell if they are being practical by not pursuing legal action that is bound to be overruled or just plain evil (the truth probably lies in the middle)
Super nice guy. Has the only two golden retrievers I've ever been frightened of, and if I were him, I'd probably have some assertive watchdogs, too.
Walking into that courtroom later that day and getting stares from AT&Ts lawyers was, for lack of a better term, special.
Also Mark Klein is an underappreciated American hero.
I remember an article with a title along the lines of "The Room that Copies the Internet", and I think it was in Rolling Stone. I've tried finding it a few times over the last couple years and have been unsuccessful. Does anybody know of the article to which I'm referring and where to find it?
