That is also implied in the boingboing.net article[1]. There is one paragraph in particular which should ring a familiar bell...
One expert suggested that the NSA's intention here was to separate the sheep from the goats -- to split the entire population of the Internet into "people who have the technical know-how to be private" and "people who don't" and then capture all the communications from the first group.
And why would that be familiar? First they came for the terrorists, but I said nothing for I was not a terrorist...
which would be a good exercise if done in a controlled environment to then catch bad guys when they get that clever (hint, they aren't)
the problem is that some incopetent person paid with our money choose to list the Linux journal as a extremist publication just so he didn'thave to bother creating the system for his training. while also gaining information illegally to further help him be a lazy mofo. all while being sanctioned by even more incopetent (or ill intentioned people) above him.
anyway, off to scare some kids from my lawn now...
