I have my pitchfork, but no use for it

I have to admit, that after reading title, I dived into article fully ready to be angry. But this is no "mass-surveillance" is normal legal intercept. For details, 6500 people at the time is not much for the country of the UK size and there is some resemblance of legal process. Only the encryption bit is stupid.

Is not like the GHCQ tapping Vodafone proxy to spy on third of the Europe in the same time.

All in all, this is something to be discussed, which is surprising in these times.
