This is all ridiculous. Download, index, and process your mail locally. Problem solved.


If we had more systems capable of resisting a local search and seizure this might be the case but as it stands almost none do.


Oh no, you're describing the solution rather than the problem: a global search, copy, and seizure converted to a local one that happens on per-target basis. Way better than mass collection with FISA warrants and systems like QUANTUM.


Is QUANTUM the Swedish one or is there a new one?


It's the NSA system that operates globally that can automatically fire attacks at systems based on patterns the operations people put in. Almost all the European countries are part of a SIGINT-sharing alliance per one slide. The exceptions were Switzerland, Iceland, and one I can't remember.
