If I were a programmer that wanted to damage the reputation of my employer, I'd embed a key in its software that made it look like the software was sending all user data to the NSA. Any denial would meet "well, there's a secret law making you deny it". The perfect crime...
Has any programmer ever disappeared after writing code that pokes fun / ire / controversy at the NSA? Has anyone in the US ever disappeared after something like this?
I guess we can imagine a new world where up is down and white is black, but in the current world, the government is just a bureaucracy filled with bureaucrats trying to get promoted for coming up with crazy ideas. Disappearing random people is not high on anyone's agenda, I don't think.
