Interesting tool, but using tools like HTTPS everywhere, Syncdocs to encipher Google, or Truecrypt or EncFS for local volumes might just attract attention from the NSA.

It is better not to stand out from the crowd and be targeted.

I honestly, absolutely, do not care one bit about possibly being targeted by the NSA if that's the result of their not being able to read my data.

At the end of the day, I do NOT have anything to hide and I don't fear the NSA in the least (why would I?). So if that's the risk of encryption, I'll happily take it.

Why would you be afraid to "stand out from the crowd and be targeted"? What are you afraid of? What would they do?

Totally disagree. Protect your privacy. There is strength in numbers.

I hear what you guys are saying. But perhaps by targeting those who use encryption, the NSA is trying to intimidate us into not using it and make their lives easier?

How would they intimidate you? Send you an e-mail? Call? Show up at the door? If they would do the latter, would you have to let them in?

Small disclaimer: I'm not an American (which is why I'm even more pissed off at this whole situation than I'd be if I were an American -- I've lost complete respect for the US government over this) so obviously the NSA has no interest in showing up at my door. And if they would, I seriously doubt that I'd be doing anything wrong by slamming the thing shut in their faces.
