it REALLY depends on what 'prisim' is... seen in one light, the
program is 'just' isp/asp people who agree to permit FISA requests to
be satisfied via: "scp files from fisa.isp.net with key fingerprint
0xasdasdasd"

of course, the other way to read it (as the news would like us to
believe) is as: "plug nsa ethernet into eth1 of all servers and
routers, kthxbi!"

more details would certainly make this whole conversation less alamist
and more rational.
