> If someone is transiting sensitive data without encryption over the internet, and the NSA is included in their threat model, then they need to rethink a lot of things.

You still think that the "security" certificates make you secure ? that s in https stands for security ?

Why would a spy agency collect TB of data without a mean to decrypt it ?

Encryption doesn't require certificate authorities and TLS.

And the NSA is doing that because they can break a percentage of it, or anticipate they can in the future.

And it's order of exabytes of data.
