I can't help but wonder if it also has something to do with DemandProgress.org. Aaron's group is one of the more effective pro-privacy, anti-wiretapping/snooping/etc. advocates around.

Efforts like this are particularly problematic for the massively growing US security apparatus:

So a guy who's anti-wiretapping and anti-snooping snuck into a building, snuck into a wire closet, installed a computer, and sucked data down onto it.

No, nothing contradictory about that. Move along.
