In the very near future 'coming out' won't be the declaration of your sexual orientation, but the refusal to knuckle under to the fascist pricks of the Spook-Industrial complex via an NSL.
Yes, it will be hard, yes, it may even be prison time but this is the whole point of repressive intimidation tactics: the hope of the power-mad that individuals stay cowed and powerless, not unified and unbowed in the face of true oppression - that actual freedom isn't free.
Can you imagine if a project of TrueCrypt's successor got an NSL and _every_ person even remotely connected to the project all appeared together in the live-streamed press conference exposing and denouncing FedGov... they're gonna prosecute all of them? All together? In a show trial, perhaps? Cockroaches hate exposure to the light.
