We put things in our mouths that are not food all the time, even as adults.

Nice people don't swallow...

So what stops the feds from seizing your 'cloud' and locking it up in the impound?

Snowden's leaks are a disaster for US, British, and who knows what other intelligence agencies.

Absolutely not true. It's a great opportunity to clean house, so to speak. 'Nonproductive' personnel will be thrown under the bus, and the agencies will be getting much bigger budgets, to... uh..

*sigh* For the inside traders, it's blessed anarchy in its purest form. We go unnoticed in the vacuum of space.

I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.

Perhaps a better question then is: How do we minimize these ill effects?

First step: Recognize that you are ill.
Second: Create a desire to cure yourself.
Third: PROFIT! Real profit, not gold colored plastic trinkets.
